Insurance Requirements
The municipality you participate in sets the requirements for organizations that wish to receive credentials in the CEAS program. These requirements are enforced by BNET during the program application process. Program participants must provide minimum proof of 1M dollars of general liability coverage and statutory worker's compensation insurance before being APPROVED into the program. BNET must be named as an additional insured on your general liability policy.
Participation Agreement
The CEAS program is made possible through agreements between BNET and your local municipality or State. BNET acts as the facilitator of these programs by enrolling participants and delivering credentials recognized by local law enforcement. The government develops program rules and requirements enforced through the Participation Agreement between BNET and your organization.
CEAS Subscription
BNet provides the Corporate Emergency Access System (CEAS) as a service on an Annual Subscription basis. Subscriptions are invoiced at enrollment and are renewable annually after that.
Your CEAS subscription will allow you to assign credentials to a predetermined number of individuals based on your Tier Level. Subscriptions are valid for one year after your enrollment is approved.
