SAFETY Act - Certified and Designated
Certified and Designated
Certified and Designated
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has Designated and Certified the company’s Impasse® High Security Pale Fence, Stalwart® Anti-Ram Passive Cable Barrier systems, and Ameristar's Active and Passive Barriers under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002 (the SAFETY Act).
The certification places Ameristar’s Impasse palisade fencing, Stalwart family of anti-ram cabled barriers, and certain active and passive barriers on the “Approved Product list for Homeland Security.” Certification is the highest level of liability protection available under the SAFETY Act.
This represents the first and only such Designation and Certification for a high security fence and passive vehicle barrier manufacturer.
The SAFETY Act essentially eliminates liability that could arise out of a terrorist attack for sellers whose anti-terror products have been reviewed and approved by the DHS in America’s fight against terrorism. Most important, these lawsuit protections extend to Ameristar’s customers should a future act of terrorism occur and lawsuits follow alleging that Ameristar’s physical security products failed to prevent the terrorism.
Should this happen, our customers’ liability would be strictly limited, if not nonexistent, in most cases because they purchased Ameristar’s SAFETY Act approved services. This may also create an opportunity for Ameristar’s customers to recognize lower insurance premiums given the elimination of risk of lawsuits should an act of terrorism occur. Companies that purchase products from other manufactures that have not been SAFETY Act approved would not enjoy such protections.
