Control is Everything™
Safety training has one objective; to teach delegates to respond in an appropriate manner to a life-threatening situation they have not encountered before. This requires exposing them to challenges that stretch their abilities. At all times, the well-being of delegates must take priority. The training environment must feel dangerous, but never be dangerous. All equipment must behave exactly as the instructors expect.
