SECURITY PASSPORT

Shortly after 9/11/2001, GBRIA members formed a committee to determine whether a standard tool could be developed for employers to quickly determine an individual's eligibility for facility assignment based on criminal background history. The committee spent many months studying the standards of the FAA, MTSA, the Patriot Act and others and consulted with criminal justice experts to develop a world-class standard that meets industrial manufacturer's needs.

In considering the implementation of the Security Passport, several documents may be helpful and are posted below.
