Airport security works best when it is understood and practiced by every person on site, not just the specialists. A front-line staff member who notices something unusual and knows what to do with that observation is as important to the overall security posture as the most sophisticated screening technology. That is the principle behind a security culture approach, and it is one that airports around the world are increasingly investing in.
Building that culture starts with training. Whether you are an airport executive setting strategy or a front-line worker managing day-to-day interactions, having the right knowledge makes you a more effective part of the security system. The Klayo catalogue offers a range of security courses designed for professionals at every level.
