HavenLock Earns Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation
FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE, USA, February 23, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — HavenLock Inc., a Tennessee based company, has received SAFETY Act Designation for its active shooter defense system, Haven LockDown, by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Haven LockDown is the only locking system of its type to receive such an award. The SAFETY Act Designation process can be arduous. Haven has worked with The Homeland Security Consulting Group (HSCG) and its Founder, David McWhorter, PhD, for many years to achieve its SAFETY Act coverage.
“Receiving this award reinforces our commitment to providing a safer environment for people to work, study, and worship in. Working with DHS on this award was a massive undertaking that took us years to ensure that Lockdown was safe and effective in a threat scenario.” Alex Bertelli CEO of HavenLock.
The Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act was created by Congress as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. The SAFETY Act offers legal liability protections for companies who develop and deploy qualified anti-terrorism technologies that could save lives in the event of an attack. Further, with SAFETY Act Designation, the client (venues, schools, commercial facilities, etc.) bares no liability related to the award holder’s services in the event of a claim relating to an act of terrorism. The provider of the service enjoys a liability cap commensurate with its insurance coverage.
