Crisis Prevention Comparisons

The average cost to become an instructor with one of our major competitors is $5,000.  The cost to become a “Master” Instructor in the SafeClinch Program is $2,195.  Our competitors also require the organization to pay a fee for each end user trained by the instructor; we consider this a hidden fee.  In the SafeClinch Program there are no fees paid to SafeClinch for end users trained within the Master Instructor’s organization.  

In our opinion SafeClinch produces one of the most contemporary and comprehensive instructor manuals in the industry.  In addition, there are videos walking the student through each technique and scenario in the SafeClinch Training System.  SafeClinch provides all these presentation items with the basic fee to become a Master Instructor. 

Our competitors spend most of the program time on classroom lectures and exercises and spend little time on physical intervention.  We at SafeClinch understand that physical intervention should be used as a last resort, but that does not mean physical intervention/techniques should be taught at the end of the program, with little emphasis.  The SafeClinch Program offers an excellent training module for preventing disruptive behavior and communicating with people who are emotionally charged.  However, we balance this training material with high-quality personal safety and physical intervention training.  

The SafeClinch Training System relies on body mechanics and safe techniques, just like our competitors.  However, our techniques were discovered and perfected while participating and teaching a wide assortment of physical control tactics. We recommend that all staff authorized to use immobilization techniques be trained on the risks of positional/restraint asphyxia.  Positional asphyxia can occur when a person being restrained cannot get enough oxygen. This lack of oxygen can lead to disturbances in the rhythm of the heart and serious injury can result. To be sure, SafeClinch emphasizes that the least restrictive intervention should be used whenever possible.
