The American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) on June 20 announced that ISB Global Services (ISB) has joined the association as its newest Member Discount Program provider to bring background screening and compliance services to members.

According to ASLRRA, ISB will provide association members with a suite of employment background screening products that will “allow railroad and supplier members to be confident that they are obtaining appropriate and accurate information, while being compliant with privacy legislation.” Companies will be able to use ISB as a one-stop-shop for employment screening services, including employment history verification, education and professional credential verification, domestic terrorism watchlist searches, motor vehicle records search, and more. ISB is also able to provide cargo loss and supply chain security tools and mobile identity verification for secure access to facilities.

As a Preferred Provider in ASLRRA’s Member Discount Program, ISB Global Services, the association says, is “committed to providing exceptional customer service and exclusive discount pricing to ASLRRA members,” while delivering the following key program benefits:

• Improve safety and security across the entire industry with a program that offers background checks, safety training, testing and certification.
• Develop best practices and work with short lines to implement mission-critical policies.
• Help advance safety culture, including a reduction in the frequency and severity of injuries and incidents.
• Minimize risk associated with onboarding personnel to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials.
• Ensure regulatory compliance with privacy requirements.
• Mitigate fraud, vandalism, workplace theft and violence, terrorism, sabotage, proprietary asset loss, and immigration status issues.
• Develop a pre-qualified pool of emergency workers.

“Our industry places safety above all other priorities,” said ASLRRA President Chuck Baker. “Ensuring that our employees are adequately screened, and that our locations are secure is one of the many ways the short line industry ensures safe operations. ISB Global Service’s commitment to safeguarding trust and integrity in the modern workforce, coupled with a robust suite of product options, drove their selection to our exclusive list of Member Discount Program partners.”

“On behalf of ISB Global Services, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association for their extremely valuable partnership. Their collaboration has played a crucial role in strengthening our efforts to provide cutting-edge background screening and compliance solutions to the railroad industry. Together, we can offer a safer and more trustworthy environment for all employees and stakeholders.
