Safety & Security
Safety and Security is our first priority.
Since 1946, Irvin Simon has pioneered unique methods and techniques to insure a safe and secure photographic experience. In fact, our Safety & Security Program is unparalleled in the industry which explains why schools have trusted us for more than fifty years. Here’s how we do it:
Hire The Best Photographers
Potential photographers are subjected to a rigorous hiring process. Those select candidates who pass the initial interview process are then observed and evaluated in a controlled testing environment. Finally, potential photographers are enrolled in our formal on-site training program conducted by the best and brightest photographers and school safety experts.
Employee Background Screening
Each Irvin Simon Photographer is carefully screened before joining our team. This includes thorough background checks on any criminal, legal, credit, and motor vehicle history. We also contract with a third party Employment Security Firm to independently verify our findings.
Diversity and Sensitivity Training
Parents, Children, and Educators come in all sorts of different sizes, colors, and shapes. We do not only capture great photographs, we also insure that the photography experience is safe, comfortable and fun for all. All of our staff attend Diversity and Sensitivity Training on a regular basis. They also participate in interactive role-playing exercises to train for any special challenges that might occur.
Customized Solutions
Many of our clients have unique Security and Safety concerns. We have what it takes to meet these special and important needs. Should you have any additional questions about our Safety and Security Program please contact President Steve Miller at 516.437.4700 x202 or at steve@irvinsimon.com.
