With more than 3 million tons of hazardous materials being transported in the United States each year, there has been great amount of concern that terrorists might target Haz-Mat cargos since September 11th 2001.

By employing the GeoLok container security device, those transporting these cargos can meet recommendations put forward by government agencies concerning the security of Haz-Mat in transit. The Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Transportation recommendations and Security Action Items included:

• Developing access control procedures.

• Develop a system capable of providing near real-time information on the location particular types of Haz-Mat in transit.

• Provide positive and secure exchange of custody of particular types of Haz-Mat in transit at shipper and receiver facilities and at points of carrier interchange.

• Detect signs of tampering or sabotage.

When employing the GeoLok on these shipments, companies and agencies transporting Haz-Mat can meet all of the above procedures. The GeoLok communicates in real-time to the user through TrakLog, giving in-the-moment monitoring capabilities of Haz-Mat during transport.

The GeoLok also provides for hardened physical security, retaining both doors. Tampering with the cargo will initiate an alert from the GeoLok while it deters and delays any intrusion attempt.

The GeoLok is also a time and location lock. This ensures the chain-of-custody remains secure, from origin of the shipment to its end destination. Only the Right Person, in the Right Place and at the Right Time can access the shipment.
