Based in Meyerton, they provide cost-effective consumable solutions to mining companies and fire assay laboratories throughout Africa and internationally.
For this year’s International Women’s Day Terra Nova Ceramics wanted to host a Personal Safety Workshop, organised by Secanity, for their female staff members. The objectives were empowerment, team building, creating a safety culture that amplifies their company values and ensuring that their female staff members have tools and information that contribute to their general personal safety, confidence and well-being.
The programme focused on why everybody should have a personal safety strategy and provided practical tools and techniques on how to deal with public street harassment, the importance of prevention, various de-escalation techniques, and practical self-defence techniques that can easily be implemented regardless of your fitness level and age.
Together with iDefend Krav Maga and the Growing up without a Father Foundation, Secanity ensured that all participants left the workshop feeling empowered, confident and enabled.
