Is it possible to prevent the user from using Safari on iOS?

I need to remove or at least make it impossible for the user to run Safari on an iPad.

Instead, the user should use a far more restricted browser that we will provide.

Is this possible?

If you mean to open url in your app by using your own webview instead of opening safari, you can register your class with the UIWebViewDelegate protocol and implement the method – webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: Inside this method, you can deal with the url and return NO, so that safari won't be opened.

Actually you can. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, enable them, and turn off Safari. You can find more information on Apple's website.
