Risk Management

The Risk Management Group addresses issues concerning safety, fire, security and public relations. They also ensure that EGD maintains its Marine Facility Certification under the requirements of the Marine Transportation Security Regulations and International Ship & Port Facility Security Code. This group works and coordinates mostly behind the scenes to help ensure that not only do EGD employees work in a safe and secure environment, but also employees of the companies that operate out of the EGD facility.
