Safe or Suspect Training

Why attend the Safe or Suspect Training?

To enable you to minimise the risk of disruption from dangerous devices entering your organisation to impact your people and your business. Devices include explosives, chemical, biological and other. Beyond the personal injury to those directly affected, there is the cost of disruption when your building is evacuated, plus the impact on morale and publicity. You and your team may be held personally responsible.

If you are a high profile organisation or provide essential services, you may be at risk from terrorists, activists or disgruntled customers and taxpayers. Postal attacks are the second most favoured approach in recorded terrorist incidents in the UK over the last 15 years. With increasing political instability in the Middle East, government cuts and the London Olympics, do you think this is likely to improve or worsen?

Prevention is better than cure underlies Safe or Suspect. So you can rest assured that you have taken all reasonable precautions for the safety of your people in turbulent times.
