Students with physical conditions that may impair their ability to participate are responsible for contacting their physician for medical clearance prior to enrollment.   Conditions requiring such consultation include but are not limited to high blood pressure, heart problems, lung problems, to include bronchitis and asthma, or allergies. All students in this course are exposed to OC as a requirement for their instructor training.

Students who have undergone any type of eye surgery in the past 12 months must notify the Safariland Training Group prior to enrollment in an OC course.   Typically, patients who have undergone eye surgery require approximately six months for complete recovery.   In order to provide the greatest safety margin, Safariland has therefore concluded that any student who has undergone eye surgery is STRONGLY advised to delay participation in this class for a full calendar year from the date of surgery.

Safariland, LLC will not assume responsibility for any students who do not seek medical consultation prior to course participation.   Any student who is unable to participate in the exercises cannot complete this instructor level course.   It is incumbent upon the student to ensure they are physically capable of meeting the requirements of the courses.
