Safety Bus

What Safety Bus does

Safety Bus is a French private training organization founded in 2009 and headquartered in Serris (5 avenue Christian Doppler, 77700) that delivers workplace safety training focused on fire safety, evacuation, first aid (secourisme/SST), electrical habilitation, ergonomics (gestes et postures), and road risk prevention. The company serves primarily large French enterprises and public institutions — including LVMH, Dassault Aviation, SNCF, RATP, Engie, Safran, Nestlé, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, the French Ministry of Justice, and Santé Publique France — and trains thousands of people per year across France. It operates with a small in-house team of approximately 9 dedicated trainers plus administrative and commercial staff, and holds Qualiopi certification under "Actions de Formation," the French national quality certification required to access public training funds.

The company's core asset is a proprietary fleet of three mobile training units — Safety Flexy (up to 12 persons per session, 24/day), Safety Bus (up to 16/day), and Safety'Easy (up to 28/day) — that function as fully equipped traveling classrooms with real-fire simulators, smoke stratification chambers, connected CPR mannequins, and RIA fire-hose equipment. Beyond mobile delivery, Safety Bus offers three additional modalities: in-person training at client sites, e-learning modules with 360-degree immersive environments deployable on the client's LMS, and augmented reality fire scenarios in which trainees extinguish virtual fires in their actual work environment. Training programs include UVIE, EPI, EIE, ESI, ARI, electrical habilitation (H0 B0, BS BE, BR BC, BE Essais, EV/hybrid), SST/SST MAC, DAE, IGQS, lithium battery risk (IRL), evacuation exercises, and hospital-specific horizontal patient transfer training for Type U/J facilities.

Safety Bus operates a project-based professional services model with custom pricing per engagement and multi-year contract cadence, supplemented by recurring e-learning subscriptions and an in-house communication tool suite (Safety'Com PDF convocations, SMS/email reminders, custom safety videos). Distribution is exclusively direct B2B within France — no resellers or marketplace channels — driven by Calendly-scheduled discovery calls, contact forms, and field outreach. The company is independent and privately held, with no disclosed outside funding, M&A, or parent company.

Revenue model

1. On-Site Training (Presentiel): Traditional in-person training delivered at client sites by expert trainers, covering fire safety, first aid, electrical habilitation, posture/ergonomics, and road risk. Pricing is tailored per client based on training type, duration, and group size. Delivered at client facilities or in one of the company's mobile units parked on client premises.
2. Mobile Unit Training (Unités Mobiles): Training delivered using the company's proprietary mobile units (Safety Bus, Safety Flexy, Safety'Easy) which travel to client sites. These are fully equipped traveling classrooms. This is a key differentiator and a primary revenue stream, allowing training without requiring clients to send staff off-site.
3. E-Learning Modules: Online training modules delivered on the client's LMS or Safety Bus's own platform. Modules cover fire safety, road risk, gestures and postures, emergency gestures, and flex office evacuation. Duration ranges from 15 to 50 minutes per module. Can be standalone or complementary to in-person training.
4. Augmented Reality Training: Training using augmented reality scenarios where trainees extinguish virtual fires and perform 360-degree evacuation exercises in their real work environment, guided by a physical trainer. This is an innovative, immersive modality priced as a premium offering.
5. Communication and Media Tools: Sale of communication support tools for clients, including personalized PDFs for training convocation and reminders, SMS/email reminder services (up to twice), and custom safety videos. These support tools help clients achieve 100% training participation rates.

Key products include UVIE (combined vital emergency and fire evacuation), EPI (first intervention team), various electrical habilitation certifications, SST (workplace first aider), and specialized modules for hospital, logistics, and lithium battery risks.
