ALMONTE, Ontario, Dec. 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3 Sixty Risk Solutions Ltd. (“3 Sixty” or the “Company”) (CSE: SAFE) (OTCQB: SAYFF) (FSE: 62P2), which operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 3 Sixty Secure Corp., calls for increased regulation of cannabis transport and security in light of recent industry theft, and provides overview of services in relation to safe and secure movement of cannabis within Canada.

“The recent theft of a legal producer’s cannabis held in-transit by a third-party provider highlights the necessity for cannabis-specific secure transport within the chain-of-custody as a critical risk-mitigation initiative,” said Thomas Gerstenecker, founder and CEO of 3 Sixty. “While Health Canada has published important and useful guidance on cannabis transportation, we encourage regulators to go a step further to create, implement and audit regulations that protect clients, cargo and communities.”

In 2019, 3 Sixty’s secure transport line of service has scaled across the country to enable effective and efficient movement of cannabis. To date, the company has moved more than 6,500 shipments of legal cannabis without incident.

Being Canada’s pre-eminent secure transportation company for cannabis is one of the ways in which we secure our people, products and the places we travel through. We are your risk-mitigation solution not only with our processes, procedures and principles of secured transport, but also our cannabis-specific cargo insurance (which provides full recovery cost in the event of insurable loss versus standard cargo insurance that provides minimal to no actual coverage).

• Health Canada up to now, has established strict standards over the safety and quality of cannabis during transportation. Do your transportation protocols pass an audit of the regulatory requirements?
   
• Health Canada has published guidance on cannabis transportation setting out key approaches to achieve compliance. We have established our fleet to meet all these requirements.  At 3 Sixty we are your secured transportation compliance partner with our specially-equipped vehicles with GPS-tracked vehicles and real-time alerts for deviations temperature monitoring/control, transportation SOPs, tracking cannabis handling during distribution, and ensuring adequate sanitation, maintenance and environmental conditions of the carrier.
