The use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) delivered in the mail or by courier services - remains a tactic for use by the Terrorist, Domestic Extremist and Criminal elements alike.
Whilst the current generic threat from Commercially Delivered Devices (CDD) is assessed as being LOW, Terrorism and in some cases Extremism remain predictable events requiring appropriate mitigation measures; organisations and individuals remain under an obligation to ensure a safe working environment which includes freedom from physical and psychological harm.
The input outlines the current threat to your specific organisation from CDD, explores their development and delivery, mitigation measures which can be applied, the handling of a suspicious package and the appropriate reporting of concerns.
The ability to evaluate incoming post for suspicious content and an awareness of the manner and circumstances of when CDD have been used can aid staff handling mail to be more effective in their role providing greater assurance and ultimately wider reassurance to those with concerns that the material they process daily may be potentially hazardous.
This input is focussed upon providing confidence and reassurance by heightening awareness of staff, whose role includes the ongoing handling of mail, and ensure they have a clear understanding of the current threat and refined protocols to apply in the identification and subsequently assessment of any suspicious mail.
In readiness for delivering the input, we can conduct a review of existing plans, policies and procedures, gaining an appreciation of your management and organisational preparedness to determine more precisely the need of the intended audience and the optimum manner for the input to be delivered.
Principally those engaged in mail room, reception and security, but additionally anyone who has organisational responsibility for these roles and the determining of organisational policy would benefit from the information and techniques outlined in this module.
