Our Safety Pledge
Safety and quality are cornerstones of our work - protecting every client, guide and dog from harm.
Safety and quality are cornerstones of our work and drive our business development. We are committed to protecting everyone we work with, whether client, guide or dog, from all forms of harm, physical, environmental or psychological. We build risk awareness within our client and guide groups and evolve common sense at every level. Our risk assessments, and their control measures, are available for general reference.
- Protecting every client, guide and dog from physical, environmental and psychological harm
- Only modern, correctly maintained equipment used
- Farm inspected annually by Finland's Health & Safety department and the local vet
- One of the most comprehensive safety plans of any safari company
Equipment, training and judgement
We use only modern, correctly maintained equipment and place great emphasis on staff training. Participants must still accept an element of risk on safari, since we cannot control everything about the dogs and the Arctic environment. If weather or group needs dictate, we reserve the right to change or, very occasionally, cancel activities to ensure everybody's safety. If individuals place themselves or the group at risk by their actions, we also reserve the right to remove the person, or persons, concerned from the activity.
Independent inspection
Each year our farm is inspected by Finland's department of Health and Safety and by our local vet.
- What they check: dog welfare, consumer protection standards and general product safety
- What they review: our risk assessments, operating guidelines, safety equipment, safety procedures and liability insurance
- Our reputation: we are known for one of the most comprehensive safety plans of any safari company
- What inspectors say: more than once they have told us that visiting is a pleasure, since the dogs are plainly happy, healthy and well cared for and the guides energised, working within well-defined systems
