Frequently Asked Questions: Logistics & Warehousing Security

Common questions answered by licensed Australian security specialists.

How do gatehouse security guards verify truck container seals? ▾
Guards match physical bolt seal serial numbers against shipping manifests, check for evidence of tampering, and record digital timestamped photos before authorizing entry or exit.
What is Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and how do guards support it? ▾
CoR legislation makes all parties in the transport supply chain responsible for road safety. Security guards assist by checking driver fatigue sign-offs, load restraint visual checks, and vehicle mass documentation.
