Exercise Drill Summary:

The exercise is conducted in order to check & track that personnel is well aware from all the
security parameters. For this purpose, we have placed a wooden log into the empty
container at the gate entrance by the security guard Mr. Rafique & closed the container.
The container is sent to the loading bay where the 7-point inspection is carried out by
Logistic Personnel named as Mr. Ashraf. The container was completely checked from the
inside, outside, ceiling, door, floors & other points as well. A wooden log was caught by the
Logistic member & was immediately reported in the inspection checklist as well as the Head
of Department. The departmental head was informed earlier about the drill so that the
container can’t send back to the transport service provider.
