Security and Safety

PST saw the need and developed the solution.
PST was at the forefront in recognizing the need for enhanced physical security on cargo terminals. We led the way in the development of security measures and wrote the guidelines that are being utilized in the Port of Los Angeles, ensuring port security within the nation's busiest port complex. These guidelines were also adopted nationally for breakbulk terminals.

In recognition of Pasha's proactive work in focusing on protecting the ships — the moving targets, we became one of only two businesses in the port complex, and one of 79 nationwide, to receive available federal grant funding in response to our application. This was a great acknowledgment by the government that they place great confidence in PST's ability to put these funds to the best use in enacting our proposed security enhancements.

Interactive programs train for safety.
Our employees and our clients' cargo are extremely valuable. Safe working conditions and careful cargo handling are paramount. PST is ever-vigilant in maintaining crucial safety standards and working conditions at all times.

We provide on-going safety training for management, staff and union labor to ensure federal and state OSHA requirements are not just met, but are surpassed. Our safety manager is in the field daily, interacting with labor and management to ensure personnel safety.

A safe and green environment.
PST recognizes the ecological impact industry has on our daily lives. We are vigilant in exploring ways to address such "green" issues. We were one of the first terminals to employ emulsified diesel fuels in a test environment. Pasha will be working closely with the ports in their on-going efforts in this direction.
