Helping dual- use exporters keep to the rules
Taking Trauma out of Crisis
Even staff who are professionally trained to respond to and deal with CBRNE events have their own personal stress thresholds. Beyond a certain level of exposure to disturbing experiences, almost everyone is vulnerable to trauma, according to the organisers of TATE, Trauma Awareness Training for Employ- ers. The next half-day training event for managers from all sectors is scheduled for 2 May 2013, London. . PTSD Resolution is the charity that
runs the TATE training and is also successfully dealing with military trauma amongst many UK forces veterans and reservists. The counselling programme has had unparalleled results in the UK, according to PTSD Resolution, with nearly eight out of ten armed forces’ veterans treated successfully. This was achieved in an average of fi ve sessions: 157 ex-service personnel have completed the programme, and 78 per cent of these had symptoms reduced to below the ‘clinical level’. Piers Bishop, PTSD Resolution Director of Counselling, says: “Few employers can recognise the symptoms of trauma; far less assist
employees and fi nd out if they need help and then arrange appropriate treatment.” TATE provides trauma treatment to
military veterans as its core aim. How- ever, such has been the demand for help from employers of former soldiers that the charity has set up half-day seminars to help company owners, line managers, human relations specialists and other CBRNE staff to recognise and deal with the problem of trauma, however caused. PTSD Resolution has a network of 200 counsellors in the UK, and bookings can be made centrally.

Enterprise applications company IFS has released a new module to help Aerospace & Defense (A&D) companies manage the complex timing and legal needs associated with product export compliance – particularly of dual-use items which could be used for CBRN and other weapons. As part of the IFS Applications suite of enterprise resource planning soſt ware, the Export Control extension is designed to give users peace of mind that their exports comply with trade regulations within their markets. IFS Export Control is a complete customizable export control system which allows suppliers with multi-site operations in diff erent geographies to create a fully integrat- ed database of export products and regulations. By entering the param- eters of the exporter’s product developments, current licenses and the relevant trade regulations, exporters of military or dual-use items can have complete control over supply chain compliance according to their own needs. The extension manages compliance with ITAR (International Traffi c in Arms Regulations and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and UK Export Controls. Instead of the costly and time-
consuming process of individually checking each order against current licenses and regulations, Export Control automatically fl ags up poten- tial breaches of export regulations and a series of alerts warns exporters of non-compliance issues. According to Dave Holroyd, Managing Director, IFS Defence: “For multinational exporters operating in several jurisdictions, the challenges of making certain that every order complies with every regulation can be immense. Our new solution has particular relevance in the A&D market, where a simple oversight in order processing can be extremely dangerous for a company’s reputation. Export Control fl ags up potential breaches of export regula- tions, including the export of dual-use items, to ensure that users have the information they need to assess whether orders can go ahead.” zy
