Description
Summary:After September 11, the biggest change in procedures Ed Kitt has seen involves limiting distribution facility access. The regional vice president-operations with DSC Logistics notes there has also been increased emphasis on understanding procedures for handling emergency issues, most notably powdery substances in trailers or on product which are out of the ordinary. September 11 was a wakeup signal, agrees Barry Brandman, president of Danbee Investigations, a company that does audits, consulting, and investigations. As security has expanded its role to protecting from acts of terrorism, sabotage, contamination, or smuggling, Brandman has seen a surge in the interest of top executives in what the firm is doing to protect assets and personnel. With a greater priority on security, many firms are contracting with companies like Danbee Investigations to do vulnerability assessments-in-depth reviews of policies, procedures, manpower, and equipment used to protect assets.
