To prevent inadequate awareness of supply chain security requirements of the C-TPAT program, companies should “ensure that its staff having responsibilities relevant for security issues regularly participates in programs to raise their awareness of those security issues”. The C-TPAT applicant or member should develop mechanisms in order to educate and train staff on security policies, recognition of deviations from those policies and understanding what actions should be taken in response to security lapses. The C-TPAT applicant or member should particularly:

• Educate its personnel, and where appropriate its business partners, with regard to the risks in the international supply chain;
• Provide educational material, expert guidance and appropriate training on the identification of potentially suspect cargo to all relevant personnel involved in the supply chain, such as, security personnel, cargo-handling and cargo-documentation personnel, as well as employees in the shipping and receiving areas.
