A: The TSA has mandated that each IAC "adopt and carry out a security program in order to prevent or deter the unauthorized introduction of any explosive or incendiary device into any package cargo intended for carriage on a passenger aircraft."
A: According to industry sources, an estimated 95% of the over 4,000 TSA approved indirect air carriers in the United States are not in compliance with the TSA's mandated security program and security training requirements.
CNS requires that at least one person at each of your locations be trained by an IATA validated trainer. Additionally, if every member of your staff that accepts cargo is not trained in some manner then you are not in compliance and you are not ready for a TSA inspection.
A: Failure to be in compliance puts you at risk of stiff financial penalties, being forced out of business for non-compliance, or worse, putting the safety of the flying public at risk. Are you prepared for 10's of thousands of dollars worth of liability for noncompliance?
The TSA has the authority to impose these fines and even suspend your operation for failure to demonstrate and provide adequate evidence of training. This may result in the assessment of a fine of $13,063 per untrained employee. How many employees do you have? WHY TAKE THE RISK?
A: United States Code (USC) 5123(a)(1) gives the TSA the authority to levy civil penalties against regulated parties. If your company accepts cargo destined for passenger carrying aircraft, then you are a regulated party.
TSA conducts inspections of indirect air carriers to ensure compliance. One of those compliance items in your IACSSP is your "training program". Do you have a training program? Can you and your employees demonstrate knowledge of the IACSSP?
A: The TSA's regulatory requirements have defined this group as "all employees / authorized representatives involved in the chain of custody of cargo destined to travel by air". While CNS requires that at least one employee at each of your locations be trained by an IATA certified trainer like IAC Training, Inc. TSA requires all employees and authorized representatives to be trained.
A: IAC Training Inc. can examine your workspace and identify noncompliance areas on a consulting basis before the TSA arrives. We can even help estimate and assess those penalties, and design a program to assure that you will be in compliance.
A: Yes it does. Our training program includes up to the minute information.
A: Our company is considered by IATA/CNS as the number one provider of training. We are proud to provide training services to thousands of indirect air carriers and airlines worldwide
