lawsuits involving ASIS certification and the ASIS certification process
that arise out of an act of terrorism.
ASIS International Certification Program Awarded
SAFETY Act Designation by U.S. Department of homeland Security
Program is first of its kind to receive recognition and protection afforded by designation
Alexandria, VA (July 25, 2006) - ASIS International (ASIS), the
preeminent organization for security management professionals worldwide,
has been issued a coveted "Designation" for its certification program
under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act
of 2002 (the SAFETY Act) from the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
The purpose of the SAFETY Act is to ensure that the threat of
liability does not deter manufacturers of anti-terrorism technologies
from developing and commercializing new products that could
significantly reduce the risks or effects of terrorist events.
Specifically, the SAFETY Act designation affords ASIS board certified
security practitioners-and the organizations they represent immediate
protection from lawsuits involving ASIS certification and the ASIS
certification process. The ASIS certifications are the first to receive
this vital benefit of liability protection.
ASIS was also awarded SAFETY Act Designation for its Guidelines program in May of 2005.
