About the Breezeway safety program

The safety course is a virtual, self-guided, educational course consisting of training materials, checklists, photos, videos, and a digital exam.

After you enroll, you will have six weeks to complete the course and exam to receive your certification. Throughout the course, you will have access to coaching from Justin Ford, Director of Safety & Certification Programs at Breezeway, to ensure you make the most of the program.

After completing the course, participants receive a Breezeway safety certification and are welcomed into Breezeway’s exclusive safety community, where they have access to ongoing safety training, support, and other resources.

The safety of your guests should be your number one priority. Creating an environment where guests feel safe is the foundation for a great guest experience. This course will provide you with the knowledge to prevent accidents, reduce liability, and maximize each guest’s experience.

Equally as important for property managers is owner relations. Adding safety precautions to your homes not only protects guests but also protects and maintains your owners’ homes. Showcasing this level of detailed property care will impress owners and help your management services stand out from the rest.

You may qualify to receive a significant discount on your insurance. Since 2019, Breezeway has partnered with Proper Insurance® to help hosts and managers get a significant discount on their insurance after they are ‘safety certified.’

What short-term rental operators say about the Breezeway Safety Program

I'm super excited to be a Breezeway certified safety inspector. We plan to promote safety inspections to prospective owners as a benefit of signing with our management company. We're going to spend time marketing this service, and I encourage my partners and staff  to take Breezeway's course as well.

I was ecstatic when I came across Breezeway's safety program. The course afforded me the opportunity to educate and support owners in protecting their investment, and assurance that our guests have safe experiences. I just can't say enough positive things about Breezeway's safety program, and my experience with the entire Breezeway team.

I worked with Breezeway's safety expert Justin Ford to certify my team of nine managers as Breezeway inspectors. We've informed our owners that safety inspections will be a requirement for us moving forward, which will accompany our general inspections.
