The role of the Deputy Port Facility Security Officer if compliance with the ISPS Code is to be adhered to is both time consuming and demanding. Given the majority of PFSO’s are selected from middle to senior management in many cases the role has proven to be an unwelcome addition to the daily workload. At Teamwork we recognised this and sought to achieve a solution. It is clear in our opinion the PFSO has to hold a position within the Company that has sufficient authority to undertake out the role.
Consequently, the appointment of personnel at management level was entirely appropriate. We also anticipate the ISPS Code will evolve as it becomes embedded in our statute and the role of PFSO will have to be supported by a deputy. The role of Deputy, is to compliment and support the PFSO there still remains however the possibility of the Deputy having to work without the supervision of the PFSO.
Courses are delivered either ‘in house’ or at Teamwork training facilities at our offices in Plymouth.
