3.37 SECURITY FENCING GERALDTON PORT

Transcription

1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Security fencing protects the Port of Geraldton Landside Restricted Zone (MWPA LRZ commonly known MSIC area) assets from intrusion and potential attacks of vandalism and terrorism. This document provides guidelines and requirements regarding the installation or replacement of security fencing for perimeter boundary of the LRZ. Also provides guidelines for all other security fencing requirements within the Port precinct. 2.0 PRELIMINARY PHYSICAL SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS Security fences will not stop a determined intruder. To be effective, such barriers must be augmented by security force personnel and other means of protection, detection, delay, and assessment. Security fences are used primarily to: Define the perimeter of a restricted area, Provide a physical and psychological deterrent to entry with signage displayed that entry is not freely permitted, Prevent accidental entry, Optimize security force operations, Enhance detection and apprehension of intruders, Channel and control the flow of personnel and vehicles through designated routes and traffic managed areas. 3.0 LAND-SIDE RESTRICTED ZONE At Maritime Security (MARSEC) Level 1 the MWPA has established a land side restricted zone. The LRZ is designed to restrict access to the security regulated port area, to which only authorized Maritime Industry Participants (MIP) have access. The land-side restricted zone perimeter fence-line consists of chain mesh, with card operated gates where the gate crosses any port related road. The fence line is located than 30m from the face of any berth and will run parallel to the berth face except when sides of the fence will turn at right angles and run to the point of the berth face. The boundary of the LRZ is shown in Attachment A. 3.1 Responsibility Maintenance of access control to the security regulated port land-side restricted zone rests with MWPA and Port Facility Operators who have management control over a facility within the security regulated port.

2 3.1.2 On each occasion that boundaries of a restricted zone are altered, MWPA Port Security Officer (PSO) shall notify Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development (DIRD) advising the reason(s) for alteration, its new boundaries and any additional measures. 3.2 Variation to Boundary The onus is on the proponent to develop a variation proposal complete with detailed plans and photos including project methodology and procedures MWPAs PSO and Deputy Port Security Officer (DPSO) will conduct an internal review of all information submitted and will advise if there are any areas of concern or any additional specific requirements The confirmation of approval notice would take approximately four weeks after the proposal has been submitted to Office of Transport Security (OTS) Any minor changes or alterations shall require written permission and confirmation of approval will be given less than 24hrs from PSO or DPSO Where tasks or projects involve construction or maintenance activities then the work is deemed to be works on roads and specific traffic management requirements apply. Refer 2.20 Traffic Management Geraldton Port. Also refer the following documents outline how to safely manage traffic for construction and maintenance work on roads. AS Manual of uniform traffic control devices Part 3: Traffic control for works on roads. Main Roads Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice. You can obtain this document from LRZ Protection LRZ shall be protected by an 1800mm high chain-link fabric fence with three barbed wire strands on straight posts. Additional components are included in Attachment B. 4.0 REPORTING The primary function of roving security is detection and reporting of any incidents or breaches of security, which are to be reported immediately to the PSO or Duty Wharf Supervisor. A detailed written report using F3.13j Security Incident Report Form is to be completed as soon as possible following the incident. Perimeter areas shall be clear of vegetation and debris that could obscure clear observation and which could be used to breach fences. Access gates at the boundary shall be kept locked permanently when not guarded and to be kept clear of all obstructions. Contractors, Shift Supervisors and Project Coordinators are responsible for checking fencing in their work area and report any breaches or damage to fencing to the PSO or Duty Wharf Supervisor immediately once observed.

3 The Port is equipped with video surveillance cameras. These cameras are operated remotely from the security gate house to scan the roadways, perimeter fencing and to seaward and are monitored by security guards 24/ Lock and restricted keys The PSO is the only person authorized to issue restricted keys for specific areas of the Port. The key forms part of the MSIC arrangements and must be kept in your possession whilst working at the port, as well as safe and secure at all other times Any gates/padlocks opened, must be closed and secured after use. The key is to be used only for operational requirements associated with MWPA business. The key remains the property of the MWPA and must be returned on request or at time of cessation of contract or employment with the MWPA It is the responsibility of the key holder opening the gate to ensure all personnel transiting through possess an MSIC or visitor card Damaged or inoperable keys must be reported and returned as soon as practicably possible There is to be no access for visitors unless the visitors have been registered in the MWPA visitor s log. Fines, set out in legislation, apply to any individual if visitors are not registered. MWPA security must be immediately informed if: Any gate, padlock or key is damaged. Any gate or padlock does not close. You will be required to supervise the gates until security arrives. 4.2 Penalty Under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Regulations 2003 it is a federal offence to compromise the security of the Geraldton Port and significant penalties apply Key holders should understand that the issue of any restricted key is a privilege, which the Mid West Ports Authority has the right to revoke at any time without warning Key holders should be aware that the security gates are monitored 24/7 by security cameras and that footage could be used as contemporaneous evidence to determine offenders Any breaches of either the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Act 2003 or the Mid West Ports Authority Maritime Security Plan may result in penalty and cancellation of your MSIC. 5.0 ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS 2.20 Traffic Management Geraldton Port F3.13j Security Incident Report Uncontrolled when printed or in hard copy Page 3 of 7
