Michael Klos - Country Manager - Gefoizyka Torun S.A.
On behalf of Geofizyka Torun S.A. Branch Office in Mozambique, I am pleased to confirm that SafeLane Global Mozambique Lda. successfully completed demining works for our 2021 Seismic Campaign in the Inhambane Province, Southern Mozambique.
The scope of work, executed in May-November 2021, included subsurface battle area clearance for seismic profiles and covered a total of nearly 14 million square meters.

Marine services client
[SafeLane Global] played an important role in helping us complete our complex, ambitious project on time and on budget.[SafeLane Global] was our main contractor for munitions clearance with the mission to provide a safe installation corridor. They worked with us in a professional manner to develop and implement a detailed plan to clear munitions from the route and to do so with minimal environmental impact and minimal disruption to marine traffic in the Baltic Sea. Throughout the project they liaised closely with our environmental team so that we were able to develop appropriate mitigation measures and fulfil all technical and reporting requirements set by the national and local authorities.

South Stream Transport
It is with great pleasure that I write to you, asking to pass on my appreciation [to SafeLane Global] the [SafeLane Global] representative onboard the “MV Iskatel” vessel, and all the staff and management [of SafeLane Global].
On the 22nd of June 2015 the MV Iskatel has successfully completed the relocation of four (4) unexploded ordnances to a safe distance outside the installation corridor of the Pipeline 1 and Pipeline 2 routes, thus clearing the first obstacle in the path for the project realization.
The task was an extremely challenging one, never attempted before at such a depth, and required a thorough preparation and a flawless execution.
[SafeLane Global] has supported SSTTBV in the overall process, has collaborated with all other involved CONTRACTORs, SUBCONTRACTORS and Authorities, and has actively participated to the offshore operations, leading to this successful achievement which was completed ten (10) days ahead of the originally planned schedule.
It is noted that [SafeLane Global] was well aware of the criticality of this operation for the safe and successful installation of the South Stream pipeline system, the tight schedule and the demanding scope, and their efforts to ensure this schedule was maintained was exemplary.
[SafeLane Global] has fulfilled the Scope of Work while maintaining perfect safety standards, and extremely high levels of professionalism.

We have all been very impressed at the way the conducted themselves, and I have had nothing but positive feedback from my crew. They will be very welcome back on board and if you can pass on my thoughts to them both it would be appreciated
Junior Tsedha Kennel Assistant
In my eight years' experience as a kennel assistant on project I have learned and benefited a lot...and counting.
I have to admit that all the benefits I get are not only a result of personal efforts I put forth to get the job done. It is also an outcome of both good working and living structure implemented by SafeLane. Which means a moderate workload, various dispositions of welfare, the closeness SafeLane keeps with us workers on ground and above all the obvious value that the company puts in for employees.
Personally I am well aware of what it takes to maintain the balance between the client's demand and and the effectiveness of workers on ground.
SafeLane is making the project efficient by concentrating on workers' wellbeing, through transparent communication and listening to workers. Either workers are on duty or on vacation they are not bored or over worked. This is so important to wellbeing that I always feel proud to be a part of SafeLane's endeavours.
It has been a while now since we faced changes, in a positive way, on site. I believe this is due to the visits we had had lately from our project manager from UK, Mr. Walderman Julian, the operation project manager, Mr. Crawford Bob the canine manager and the project executive Ms. Durnan Kelly. When they come here they grasp the stakes of all the challenges and act accordingly to make everything the best.
The foremost best thing I have experienced on this project is the way SafeLane entrusts workers to take initiatives and listens to their ideas. This happened to me when I had a face to face with Ms. Kelly. I did love it. After it I felt so confident and more motivated to perform my duty the best I can.
I guess this is the kind of interaction that should always be maintained between the employer and employee.
I strongly believe that the best is to come for this ongoing project and for any other SafeLane project in the future.
Mike Mpango, Veterinary Officer in Somalia
"As for the [SafeLane Global] team answering any questions raised, I just give them credit apparently. most especially the Project Manager and Deputy project manager , Project officer, Project support officer and the Acting Operations Officer. Their cooperation, support and team work spirit, has done me a good job in service delivery. With regards to the recruitment exercise, I just regard it to be good, fast and not time consuming, especially if the candidate is ready to immediately undertake the job. The man power executive were extremely supportive and informative, and that's how I was only able to be assessed, recruited and supported online to enter into Somalia, where I had never been before. I dont have additional comments, but just to wish the company success and prosperity.”
Daouda Zana Coulibaly, Former EOD Team Leader in Central African Republic, current EOD Team Leader in Darfur
“Yes [SafeLane Global] is good to answer any question i may have. I appreciated the recruitment process of [SafeLane Global] , Very quick and [SafeLane Global] is ready any times to up to date the staff for the step of deployment. With [SafeLane Global], we just need to send our CV to Charlotte Haines or Rebecca Wright for review , but with the others companies is very hard . With Most of the other companies, you need to fill a cover letter, fill also a template and the CV. You will now do 2 interviews. And you will also do a small exercise before the second interview. If you failed for that exercise, you failed for that job. For any additional comment, i will just say [SafeLane Global] is a lovely company. I hope [SafeLane Global] will be the very best company around the world.”

On the multiple projects in which we have worked with [SafeLane Global], including key critical infrastructure protection ... [SafeLane Global] has provided knowledgeable and experienced Explosive Detection and Patrol dog teams and handlers.

"[SafeLane Global's] main duties include, vehicle searching (HGV's and cars) at a very busy Entry Control Point, and the twice daily sweep of a large construction site... When called upon the handlers who are permanently based here also search baggage and stores that need to come into this site. Their professionalism and good humour in sometimes very arduous conditions cannot recommended highly enough. The management I come into contact with on a very regular basis have an excellent working relationship with me and as far as I can see with their handlers, and it is obvious to me that the welfare of their men and animals here, and the quality of service is paramount to them. I am impressed with the professionalism of [SafeLane Global's] personnel at this location and they are a major contributing factor to the safety and security of this very important and prestigious construction site."

"I have been out of the country for a while but I did not want to miss a chance to express my personal satisfaction upon completion of [SafeLane Global] project in Eastern DRC. Also I would like to praise the excellent work of the Project Manager. During his tenure he has constantly displayed enthusiasm and professional demeanour. Of particular value to me as DPM-OPS was Michel's team player mind-set, his capacity to overcome challenges inherent to local environment and ability to deal with various mine action stakeholders in his area of responsibility."
Oil company technical adviser
"[SafeLane Global] has provided UXO clearance services in Papua New Guinea for both our Phase 2 Geotechnical Site Investigation in August of 2010 and our Phase 3 Geotechnical Site Investigation. During the Phase 2 investigations, they provided clearance for 8 borehole locations and 7 test pit locations, as well as access paths to these locations. This Phase 2 work was performed directly as a subcontract to our Geotechnical Engineering Consultant. During the Phase 3 investigations, we engaged [SafeLane Global] directly to provide clearance of 5 borehole and 9 test pit locations and associated access routes. On both investigations, [SafeLane Global] provided knowledgeable and experienced personnel to perform its clearance work professionally and in a timely manner, allowing the geotechnical investigations to be completed without incident. We are very happy [SafeLane Global's] work and would not hesitate to utilize them again should the occasion arise."
GardaWorld
"[SafeLane Global] handlers, without exception, have been loyal, trustworthy, disciplined and dedicated to delivering this invaluable service which is essential to protecting the integrity of the British Embassy. From the intense heat of summer to the freezing cold of winter the ED Dogs have been worked efficiently and it is obvious how well the [SafeLane Global] handlers care for them both in terms of welfare and training. In short – a job well done and I would thoroughly recommend the EDD product that [SafeLane Global] provide as a reliable, professional and well supported product."

[SafeLane Global] has focused on its scope of responsibilities and performed its work professionally.

We appreciate [SafeLane Global] service to Marathon Oil KDV B.V.

He was nominated by MS Construction Manager for always being helpful & explaining how SafeLane Global works - especially when challenged on a point of safety.

We are all quick to focus on the negatives and ignore any positive feedback so I would like to thank all your Ops on site for their pro-active attitude so far, let’s keep up the good work.”
