MCS Fire & Security receives SAFETY Act Certification and Designation

MCS Fire & Security, a service and solutions provider in the commercial security and fire detection industry, has announced that DHS has awarded it SAFETY Act Certification and Designation coverage for its electronic security installation and integration services. 

These services provide procurement, installation, integration and maintenance of perimeter security and intrusion detection systems, access control systems, video surveillance systems and control systems for anti-vehicular barrier systems for large private and public customers, including those involved in petrochemicals, nuclear facilities, energy, transportation, healthcare, stadiums, etc., the company said in a press release it issued on August 10. 

The SAFETY Act is an important federal law that encourages the creation and sale of anti-terror products and services to help protect the nation's citizens. It was enacted by Congress following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296. 

Congress has stated that the purpose of the SAFETY Act is to "ensure that the threat of liability does not deter potential manufacturers or sellers of anti-terrorism technologies from developing and commercializing technologies that could save lives." 

MCS Fire & Security's SAFETY Act protection extends to customers for the security system installation and integration services that we provide under our SAFETY Act designation and certification, said the release. 

Wally Wallace, Executive Vice President of Sales, said, "MCS Fire & Security can now deliver another important added value to our customers -- an added layer of liability protection to help customers in the event of an act of terrorism. In offering this benefit to MCS' customers, we are taking advantage of a DHS program specifically designed to protect our country, our citizens and our critical assets with advanced anti-terrorism technologies."
