New guidelines aim to protect cash-in-transit workers from attacks and kidnappings

CASH-IN-TRANSIT workers will be better protected from ‘tiger’ kidnappings and violent attacks due to new safety guidelines, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) claimed yesterday.

The lack of adequate security systems in the industry were highlighted last year when criminal gangs carried out two multi-million euro heists.

The HSA said its new guidelines would make work safer for employees of the cash-in-transit industry.
