This include among others safety on land and sea, provision of medical facilities, fire fighting and safety gadgets.

Nigeria as an import-oriented country has about ninety-five percent of her international cargo traffic waterborne; hence making the terminal safe is a priority. After the 9/11 terrorists attack in United States of America (USA) and the introduction of the International Ships and Port Facilities Security (ISPS) Code as an amendment to the Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), ABTL has introduced new security measures, improved and making the existing ones compliant in order to protect the Nation’s seaports and waterways against terrorist attacks. New measures are established for vessels and other shore facilities.

Also, there is A Fire Fighting department that is adequately equipped and the provision of safety gadgets such as helmet, nose mask, foot wears, reflector and gloves are regularly provided to all workers.

Furthermore, among the regulations put in place are:

• Visitors and vehicle screening procedures.

• Security patrols.

• The identification and marking of restricted areas

• Personnel identification procedures

• Access control measures;

• Installation of surveillance equipment i.e. close circuit television cameral system (CCTV)

• Construction of a security command centre, perimeter fencing and demarcation of operational areas.

• Personnel intruder detection system.

In a nut shell, all these help to enhance productivity, boost morale of the workers and protect them from eventuality.
