Known Consignors are now required to undertake more staff checks, training and tighter security controls to be compliant with EC300. This in the world of Aviation Cargo Security is a good thing and brings the Known Consignor in line with the required security control, but it also brings further expense and monitoring of compliance.

The questions that we, as a training company are being asked is how much will it cost for the training and when can you do it!

The question you should be asking yourselves is – Do we really need to be a Known Consignor? If the answer is “yes”, then we would be more than pleased to conduct this training for you at our training centre or at your venue. The DfT are suggesting Level G for the person responsible for security at each site and Level D for all staff that have access to identifiable air cargo, this includes drivers if they handle the secure goods.

If the answer is “not sure”, then you must decide if your needs are to remain as a Known Consignor or if you decide to give up your Known Consignor status, you may wish to negotiate with your Freight Forwarder (regulated agent) for screening to make your goods secure (SPX).

We can offer training in house or at our Training Centre near Heathrow, the costs for training at our centre are published on our web site www.traininglinkeurope.com.
Training at your venue could be a negotiated day rate for further details please call

With this in mind and the continuous threat to aviation it is so important that UK x-ray cargo operators must meet such threats, this is addressed through training to the highest standard and the new EC regulations go some way to ensure that the security screeners who are in the front line of protecting life and property must comply with the rules, we at Training Link provide this training including the New Six hours in six months rule.

Also remember when screening PETN is basically Organic and Lead Azide could be used for the detonation, you know what colours these appear on the x-ray machines be particularly vigilant and use ALL your enhancement functions.
