Warehouse and Distribution Centre Security Management

Warehouses and distribution centres hold vast quantities of goods that pass through many hands, creating constant exposure to internal theft, collusion, false picking and organised cargo crime. This course focuses on securing the facility itself, the stock inside it and the people who move it. Delegates learn practical controls for goods flow, staff integrity and yard security across African logistics operations.
