In the ever-evolving landscape of air cargo transportation, ensuring the highest standards of security is non-negotiable. COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1998, in point 6.6.1.3, mandates a pivotal requirement for hauliers. This article sheds light on the necessity of providing general security awareness training, as outlined in point 11.2.7, to staff involved in collecting, carrying, storing, and delivering air cargo and mail.
Carriers transporting goods to, from or between airports in the European Union, Norway, Switzerland or Iceland should pay attention to this mandatory requirement.
Point 6.6.1.3 places a crucial responsibility on hauliers, requiring that their staff engaged in air cargo operations undergo mandatory training to enhance general security awareness. The mandate isn’t limited to specific roles; it applies to diverse staff, including truck drivers, warehouse workmen, and those handling airport or aircraft supplies destined for airport shops, cafes, and restaurants.
This mandatory training extends its reach beyond air cargo and mail handlers. It is equally applicable to hauliers transporting airport or aircraft supplies to airport establishments, duty-free shops, restaurants and other, adding an extra layer of security to these operations.
Hauliers ensuring that their staff undergoes this training are not only fulfilling a regulatory requirement but also actively participating in the collective effort to fortify the security framework of air cargo operations.
The mandatory requirement of general security awareness training, as mandated by COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1998 in point 6.6.1.3, is a cornerstone in fortifying the security framework of air cargo transportation. By ensuring that staff, including truck drivers, warehouse workmen, and those handling airport supplies, undergo this training, hauliers actively participate in creating a secure and resilient environment for the entire air cargo process. Adherence to these regulatory standards not only meets legal obligations but also elevates the industry’s collective commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security in air cargo operations.
