School officials are grappling with the challenge of creating safer and more secure educational facilities to protect students and faculty. While it is a difficult topic, deterring unwanted intruders is a necessary part of the ongoing school security conversation. To help develop secure, fully vetted and economical solutions for educational decision makers, a group of highly specialized building and school safety companies have formed the Safe on Site (SOS) Consortium.
The SOS Consortium is focused on providing a safe, secure building environment with a practical and prudent approach based on detecting and deterring intruders. Members of the SOS Consortium include LPI ROADHOUSE, Tyco Integrated Security, SISCO, Gungnir Group and Oceansafe, which employ product and security assessment specialists in the field of building and school safety.
Bayer’s material technology expertise and the virtually unbreakable properties of Makrolon polycarbonate sheet grades provide school officials with a knowledgeable resource and proven material for an economical solution to security challenges.
“We know that school officials face unimaginable challenges as part of their responsibility to protect students,” says Robert Pyles, marketing manager, Bayer MaterialScience LLC. “The SOS Consortium is focused on providing a safe school environment through the use of advanced materials and technologies as well as site design.”
