The Science of Safety

At Momentum Insure, we strive to offer certainty for what matters most, when it matters most – keeping you and your loved ones safe. To help you be and feel safe, we've got 3 proactive safety pillars to instil a sense of confidence that will enable you on your success journey.

  • Personal safety: Protecting you and those you hold dear, wherever you are.
  • Road safety: Keeping you and your loved ones safe on the road.
  • Safety at home: Keeping your most precious things safe, even when you aren't home.

Understanding Momentum's Science of Safety

Feeling safe is both a reality and a feeling

Human behaviour is seldom rational because people are strongly driven by emotions. Our response to a person, place, or situation is often as much about our emotional state as it is our rational one, sometimes even more so. It’s important for us to acknowledge and understand human behaviour. We’ve learnt that our clients need to feel safe, and only then will their concern convert into confidence.

The Science of Safety is about deep diving into human behaviour, to uncover what converts a state of being into a state of feeling.

*Research shows that more than 70% of South Africans feel unsafe most of the time, and that safety is both a reality and a feeling. As a result, 1 in 4 people suffer from anxiety and depression. Now more than ever, South Africans need a sense of certainty.

*Research conducted in partnership with the University of South Africa (UNISA).
