Who We Are

TravelSafety.net was founded by Stephen Pike, a global safety professional with over 27 years of frontline experience in high-risk industries including mining, oil & gas, construction, and international project logistics. Stephen has worked all over the world, training thousands on risk management, emergency preparedness, and crisis response—skills that are just as critical when you’re on vacation as they are on a job site.
