Course Description

In this Transportation Security Awareness course, you’ll learn how transportation security procedures protect cargo and logistics operations across the supply chain. We’ll also examine regulatory responsibilities and employee roles in security-sensitive environments. These areas matter because daily actions directly affect compliance and operational continuity. With this foundation established, we’ll move into how these responsibilities apply across daily operations and security scenarios.

We’ll explore how organizations protect cargo and facilities, presenting examples of access controls and screening practices used across transportation modes. You’ll develop the ability to identify security risks and strengthen your response to suspicious activity. We’ll also address chain-of-custody requirements and incident-reporting processes to give you a comprehensive understanding of transportation security awareness. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to apply security procedures correctly and recognize your role in protecting cargo and infrastructure.
