YOUR SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

We pride ourselves on having an incredible safety record, something which we attribute to a company-wide safety culture that is both proactive and preventative. We achieve this by encouraging all students, employees, and customers to record any incidents (or potential mishaps) in our Safety Management System. This information is taken seriously as a way for us to avert any dangerous incidents. Click the arrow to submit your report, or contact us with any safety concerns.
