World Emblem International Security Awareness Training

1. World Emblem International Security Awareness Training An Introduction For all Logistics and Warehouse Employees

2. Why Focus on Security? • As a result of 9/11, the world has changed • Each shipment imported into the U.S. is at risk for terrorist activity • World Emblem International has decided to join a voluntary program for importers called the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) • This program will help us: • Effectively manage the risk associated with the international movement of merchandise • Ensure our employees are equipped with necessary knowledge and guidelines in case a disaster occurs

3. What is the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)? • A joint Government and Trade program to assist in the fight against terrorism • A voluntary program designed to increase security at US facilities and overseas locations • Gives companies tangible benefits for participating (e.g., expedited Customs clearance)

4. Why are we involved? • The international shipping industry is a target for criminal and terrorist activities • Participation in the C-TPAT program is an important contribution towards our nation’s war against terrorism • Being aware of potential security threats is the first step you can take to reduce the risk of a disaster occurring in our place of employment

5. Three Major Areas of Concern: • Smuggling and Concealment • Suspicious Packages • Internal Conspiracies

6. Smuggling & Concealment • Illegal or potentially lethal items may be smuggled in legitimate shipments: • Weapons of Mass Destruction (radiological, chemical and biological weapons) • Explosives • Narcotics • Bulk shipments of currency • Military equipment and technology • Weapons/Ammunition • Stowaways (In Ocean Containers)

7. Smuggling & Concealment: Diversion Techniques • Altering of shipment route, container structures, and/or identification numbers • Manipulating cargo documentation • Coercing shipping personnel with bribes or threats • Using duplicate or incorrect container seal numbers • Extraneous movement of container • Moving container to remote, unsecured area for contraband removal • Removing containers from ports using false documentation

8. Smuggling & Concealment: Warning Signs • Manifest discrepancies (shortages/overages) • Container/cargo that has been tampered with • Container/cargo stored in out-of-the-way places • Cargo without normal shipping marks • Altered numbers or fresh paint on containers • Tampered seals on containers • Report all signs of smuggling and/or concealment to your supervisor or security immediately!

9. Suspicious Packages: Typical Features • Unusual markings, odors, wrapping/packaging, instructions, etc. • A ticking noise is emanating from the package • Wires are protruding from the package • Unusual balance or shape/excessive weight for its size • An unusual amount of tape on the package • Use your best judgment when confronted with anything out of the ordinary, and contact your supervisor if anything looks suspicious!

10. Suspicious Packages: Handling Precautions • Suspicious Packages must be immediately brought to the attention of management, security, or local law enforcement • Never open, shake, or empty the package • Minimize physical contact with package • Wash hands with soap and water to prevent spreading potentially infectious material

11. Internal Conspiracies: Typical Features • Complex schemes • Usually involve numerous persons within a company or an organization • Conspirators profit by diverting, stealing, or using legitimate company shipments to carry out a criminal or terrorist act • A legitimate shipment may be used because: • It provides a cover for illegal activities • It is less likely to be examined

12. Internal Conspiracies: Typical Features • Likely internal conspirators: • Persons who have direct contact with containers or cargo • Overseas: manufacturers, shippers, laborers • Domestic: stevedores, vessel personnel, company employees • Conspirators use their knowledge to disguise and/or divert shipments • Illegal activities require knowledge and opportunity • An efficient, closely monitored supply chain eliminates the opportunity for wrongdoing

13. Internal Conspiracies: Identify & Prevent • Be aware of potential threats • Be aware of strange, suspicious or erratic behavior • Be wary of individuals who ask unnecessary questions about particular shipments or who inquire about procedural or supply chain specifics • Insure that computers that contain shipping information are turned off when not in use • Keep all shipping files or computer disks containing shipping information under lock and key

14. Internal Conspiracies: Identify & Prevent • Report any attempts at coercion of shipping personnel by bribes and threats • Report unauthorized individuals who breach security protocols to gain access to secure areas • Report colleagues who breach security protocols and allow unauthorized persons access to secured areas

15. Management Initiatives • Providing written procedures for the proper execution of security measures. • Furnishing written procedures and implementing (where necessary) actions to better control access to our facilities and information. • Maintaining facilities that we believe meet CBP mandated C-TPAT standards for physical security. • Educating employees by providing training on security and C-TPAT requirements.

16. How can we help? • Be alert and aware of your surroundings. • If you see a door that is open to the public, close it. • If you see someone on Company property who does not belong and is not wearing a visitor badge, politely challenge them. • Escort visitors to and from the building. • Close office doors or otherwise secure workspace if you will be away for long periods of time. • Keep files containing information on the movement of goods or other sensitive information secure.

17. How can we help? • Log off your computer when you are away from your desk. • Do not share computer passwords with colleagues. • Do not share information about company procedures with unauthorized persons. • Be vigilant when opening packages or mail. The presence of unknown substances should be immediately reported to management. • Report unusual or erratic behavior to your supervisor. • Immediately report the presence of any weapon you see in the workplace.

18. Actively Participate • Report all threats. Take them seriously. • Report the presence of unknown materials. • Be available for periodic training. The more educated we are, the safer we will be. • Ask questions. There are no stupid questions when it comes to your own safety. • If you have ideas on how we can improve the program, share them with your supervisor.

19. Remember • Terrorists and other criminals strike at soft targets. • Be vigilant. • Even if your job has nothing to do with the supply chain, you can make a contribution to security at World Emblem. • A safer supply chain = a safer workplace, and a safer America.
