Safety Compliance in Schools w/ Mike Johnson

Improving safety compliance in international schools is essential to protect students from diverse risks such as security threats, environmental disasters, and child predators. Effective strategies include developing comprehensive safety policies, securing school perimeters, and ensuring all access points are monitored and controlled. Regular training and background checks for staff, as well as clear communication with parents about safety protocols, are also crucial. In this episode, we are joined by Mike Johnson, the CEO of Clearpath Alerts, LLC, a company that provides safety, security, and emergency preparedness technology solutions to institutions, corporations, and event organizers and planners. Mike talks about how we can improve the safety of schools. He shares the new safety projects in schools, the measures to improve the safety of schools, and how training programs have played a part in improving the safety of our schools.
