Changing the way you think… about YOUR safety
Personal Safety focuses on training people in pre-planned reactions and strategic solutions for all types of violent situations, which include home invasion, mugging, hijacking and violence in the work place. We educate people on how to implement their own personal safety program, rather than turning this responsibility over to a stranger at the other end of a telephone or panic button.
Our Mission
Our overriding passion lies in teaching people how to take control of their personal safety.
Our mission is to never stop learning. We believe in staying at the top of our game so that we can teach people from all walks of life to avoid, prevent or safely handle hostile confrontations.
Personal Safety specialises in the prevention of violence by using talks, workshops and team-building exercises to convey a simple yet achievable safety strategy.
All our training is developed and tailored for each audience.
