Our Mission
To arm our clients with the tools, knowledge, training, and safety supplies they need to achieve their unique business goals.
Our Vision
To reimagine the safety landscape through education and insights relevant to modern workplaces in the 21st century.
Every industry and workplace has its own unique set of safety risks and challenges. While most workers in developed nations assume they can safely work and return home each day, research shows otherwise. Serious injuries and fatalities continue to plague global workplaces.
For example, between ’93 and ’96, there were over a million employee injuries at USA workplaces annually. Between ’95 and ’98, there were over 6,000 fatal occupational injuries.
More recently, in 2017, there were over 5,000 fatal workplace injuries. After so many years, it’s staggering to see that these numbers are still so high.
Our instructor-led and online safety sessions take your unique workplace into account, with solutions for the construction, manufacturing, industrial, transportation, and government sectors.
