SAFETY Act Homeland Protector(R) provides product and professional liability coverage for companies developing and selling anti-terrorism products and technologies in accordance with the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002. The SAFETY Act provides important legal liability protections for providers of Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies - whether they are products or services. The liability protections of the SAFETY Act require product and technology providers to obtain insurance that meets certain standards and characteristics, which the SAFETY Act Homeland Protector provides.
