I’ve found major security risks at my work but no one listens to me, what should I do?

I work for a large distribution firm in the UK as a contracted security operative, meaning third-party and to not actually work for the company itself.

I’ve raised these issues with the senior officer but he just shrugged and said it’s not for you to worry about??? but it is? I’m here as agency and if something goes wrong…

What should I do?
