[QUOTE="AIMS, post: 8099542, member: 157044"] Some interesting comments. Security is an investment, and something which in the current climate of increasing fuel costs etc. is perhaps not seen as a priority. However, the food and agriculture sectors face evolving and emerging threats from a new generation of motivated protesters and other threat actors or groups, seeking to exploit vulnerabilities, and can have significant impact on not just individual sites, but the industry in general. The Food Sector is as critical a sector as the other transport and infrastructure sectors, and this has been recognised through the introduction of the new measures/standards that are planned to be published by the BRC. Appropriate staff training provides a layer of risk management which can enhance capability and resilience, and suitably trained staff can potentially identify those who may have hostile intent to your site. In addition, staff will be more competent at responding correctly to any ongoing threat, with the early identification of suspicious behaviours having significant benefits to potentially prevent an attack on a site. By creating a strong security culture within your site, you will reinforce the message that security is everyone’s responsibility, a message that we are constantly reminded of. Taking responsibility and being proactive in terms of preventative work is well recognised as having greater benefit and impact than waiting and being reactive, which often leads to significant disruption, damage to reputation, but most importantly may impact on the safety of your staff. By "target hardening" your site, the objective is to discourage potential threats. Better to be ahead of the curve. [/QUOTE]
