Effective port security starts with well-trained people. While technology plays an important role, knowledgeable staff remain your first line of defence.
At Teamwork Security & Training Services, we deliver specialist Search Training and Security Awareness Training for the maritime sector. As a result, ports and terminals can strengthen security, improve compliance and meet their obligations under the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
Whether you operate a commercial port, terminal or maritime facility, our experienced trainers deliver practical courses across the UK.
Why Search Training Matters
Search procedures help prevent unauthorised access, identify prohibited items and reduce security risks. Therefore, every port facility should ensure staff understand how to carry out searches correctly.
Our Search Training provides practical instruction in searching:
- Vehicles
- Buildings
- Personnel
- Restricted areas
- Cargo
- Equipment
In addition, delegates learn how to carry out systematic searches safely and consistently. The course also covers legal considerations, reporting procedures and best practice under the ISPS Code.
Most importantly, delegates take part in practical exercises. Consequently, they leave with the confidence to apply their skills immediately within the workplace.
Build a Strong Security Culture with Security Awareness Training
Security is everyone’s responsibility. However, employees need the right knowledge to recognise threats and respond appropriately.
Our Security Awareness Training gives staff the confidence to identify suspicious behaviour and understand their security responsibilities.
The course includes:
- Understanding the ISPS Code
- Recognising potential security threats
- Identifying suspicious behaviour
- Individual security responsibilities
- Supporting the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO)
- Reporting security concerns
- Developing a positive security culture
Furthermore, the course is suitable for employees at every level. Whether someone works in operations, administration or security, they play an important role in protecting the facility.
