Dangerous Goods Security for Directors & Senior Managers

Dangerous Goods Security for Directors & Senior Managers

You do not need to become a security specialist, but, you do need to understand your responsibilities.

Dangerous Goods security is a board-level issue. A theft, diversion, security breach or failure to manage High Consequence Dangerous Goods (HCDG) can have serious consequences for people, the business, its customers and its reputation.

Roadsafe Europe’s Dangerous Goods Security for Directors & Senior Managers course gives senior decision-makers a clear, practical understanding of their responsibilities—without overwhelming them with unnecessary technical detail.

It is designed for busy leaders who need to ask the right questions, make informed decisions and ensure their organisation has suitable security arrangements in place.

Clear, practical and relevant

This is not a technical course for security specialists. It is a concise management briefing that helps leaders understand their role in setting direction, allocating resources and checking that arrangements are working.

Delegates will learn how to challenge assumptions, identify areas that may need further review and support the people responsible for day-to-day dangerous goods security.

The questions every senior leader should be able to ask

By the end of the course, delegates will be better placed to ask:

• Do we know whether we handle High Consequence Dangerous Goods?

• Are our security risks understood and regularly reviewed?

• Do we have suitable security arrangements for our sites, vehicles, people and information?

• Is a Dangerous Goods security plan required, current and practical?

• Have the right people received appropriate training?

• Are we confident in our response to a security incident?

• Can we demonstrate effective oversight if challenged by a regulator, customer or insurer?
