Port Safety, Cyber and Resilience for Contractors
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
Three things happen at Kaveri Bay port in one month. A guard slips from a wet pontoon and is pulled out by a boat crew. A message that seems to come from the port's computer desk asks your supervisors to "confirm their passwords". A cyclone warning closes the coast road, and half of your night shift cannot reach the port.
None of these is a security breach. Each one can stop your service, hurt your people or end your contract. A port guarding contract is managed for security, and also for safety, for digital risk and for the day when normal working stops.
Focus: as a contractor you manage four risks with the port and not apart from it: the safety of your people near water and machines, the digital systems you touch, your part in emergencies, and the rights of the people your guards meet.
Learning objectives
- Set up safety management for guards who work near water, machines and dangerous goods, in cooperation with the port.
- Say what a contractor's duties are for the digital systems and information its people use, and report a suspected cyber incident.
- Plan your agency's part in the port's emergency plans, and keep your own service running.
- Build respect for the rights of seafarers, stowaways and migrants into your procedures.
- Keep one risk register for the port contract and review it with the port.
