Risk assessment has indicated a need for simple post room procedures to combat the risk from biological or chemical agents. This is deemed a fairly low risk but nevertheless some form of screening and staff awareness would reduce this even further. This for a small City Centre office organisation. Looking for pointers to a resource please. If anyone has written and implemented something similar I'd love to chat via PM.

There might be something of use on these links: http://www.usps.com/comm.../security/mailcenter.htm http://www.cpni.gov.uk/P...ourAssets/postrooms.aspx

I don't have anything useful too add but when I worked on a COMAH site the 'police' provided us with a load of information to assists with this. It included opening post in a enclosed room and having a sealable box with some tyvex overalls inside. One person opens post, if white powder, change into suit and wait for help. Apparently contaminated clothing is a high risk factor, and you want to limit exposure to single room. My point try asking the police to county emergency planning for some advice.
