Screening in SPS facilities
Most mail screening takes place within SPS secure facilities before shipments reach your premises. This significantly reduces employee exposure and helps avoid building evacuations, operational disruptions, or emergency responses within your workplace.
This service is available within a radius of 30 km from our scanning hubs in Bern, Basel, Zurich (Glattbrugg) and St. Gallen.
On-site Screening
For organizations with specific requirements, screening can also be performed within protected areas on customer premises.
How our Mail Screening Services work
Our mail screening procedures follow a secure, closed-chain process developed jointly with each customer.
- Incoming mail and packages are collected or redirected to SPS. Shipments are transported to a secure screening environment either in your own premises on at our scanning hubs.
- Certified specialists inspect items using advanced X-ray screening equipment. All SPS screeners are certified by CASRA, a leading
provider in this field responsible for X-ray training at more than 900 airports worldwide. - Suspicious contents are reviewed under a dual-control process. If a shipment raises concerns, SPS works directly with the recipient and local authorities -if appropiate- to determine the appropriate next steps.
- Cleared shipments are marked as security checked and delivered directly and securely to the intended recipient.
X-Ray Mail Screening Technology
Advanced X-ray technology is at the core of our mail screening services.
Incoming shipments are examined using specialized X-ray mail screening equipment operated by certified professionals trained to identify dangerous or suspicious contents. The technology allows screeners to detect weapons, letter bombs, parcel bombs, explosive devices, and other prohibited items concealed within mail and packages.
All SPS screeners receive specialist training and certification through CASRA, one of the leading providers of aviation security screening training worldwide. As a result, our specialists hold qualifications equivalent to airport security screeners.
Organizations seeking broader workplace protection can also benefit from our X-ray and CBRNE screening capabilities as part of a comprehensive security strategy.
