Recognition of Suspect Postal Devices   

Overview

Utilising inert examples of the latest known types of Postal Devices, which have been specially manufactured and produced for us by Renful Premier Technologies, one of the world’s leading producers of simulant explosive training aids, we have designed a bespoke training course especially for mail and post room staff, or staff who receive and handle mail for your business.

These inert training aids enable your staff to see and handle replica examples of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), Improvised Incendiary Devices (IID), and Sharp Objects that have been used in known terrorist and single issue extremist groups postal attacks.

These training aids have been designed in such a manner as to display the warning features of each specific device, which in itself is an excellent training medium.

If required we can also include your own emergency protocols and procedures as part the required learning outcome.

• Identify potential suspect mail items.
