We supply x-ray security equipment directly to businesses and organisations, but we also work with security consultants and facilities management companies. We understand how important the relationship is with your client and will work hand in hand with you and your recommendations.
When working with your clients we follow your lead. Based upon your instructions we can work independently or directly with your team. We are also very discrete and never pass on any information relating to you or a client to any other parties or individuals.
Many companies rethink their current arrangements after having received or handled a threat and you may have been contacted by your client after an incident. Our equipment and the services we provide can help affected staff with any uncertainty and questions they have.
PAS97
When a facilities management company look at installation of equipment they may use PAS97 to ascertain which level of accreditation they wish to comply with.
PAS97 is recommendations every x-ray system in the UK complies with the regulations however the only real compliance required is IRR17 regulations. But there are varying levels that a site may wish to comply with from basic cabinet implementation up to multi filtration and blast proof rooms. The level that a client wishes to apply to will depend on the risk assessment carried out by the FM company or external security consultant or even by ourselves by way of our Threat Assessment.
Things for consideration are documented mail screening procedures, how you get from a-b and this will be undertaken by an RPA by way of local rules should it be required, mainly for companies implementing open radiation source equipment like conveyor scanners.
