Safety Tips

Emergency
Don't hesitate to call 911 if you fear for your safety. Keep your cell phone close by.

Work Together
If working alone, call a partner in front of the client. Tell them you are starting a session and what time you'll call back. Even repeat customers.

Keep a Log
Log all client inquiries with phone numbers, names, email addresses, etc.
Don't see clients you have no information about.

Share Information
Report all bad dates including suspicious clients.

Be Careful!
Do not ingest any substance a client could have tampered with, including condoms and lube.
Never work while impaired.
