Safety Is A Mindset delivers certified CPR, OSHA, AVIRT active violence response, and bleeding control training directly to Portland, Maine businesses, maritime operations, healthcare facilities, and schools. Expert instructors. No travel required for your team.
Portland, Maine is New England's most dynamic small city — a working waterfront with one of the East Coast's most active fishing and shipping ports, a nationally recognized healthcare system anchored by Maine Medical Center, a booming construction and hospitality sector, and a tight-knit community that values straightforward, practical expertise.
Safety Is A Mindset brings that same no-nonsense approach to safety training. We deliver certified CPR, OSHA, AVIRT, and bleeding control programs directly to Portland workplaces — from the docks of Commercial Street to the hospitals of Bramhall Hill, the construction sites of the East End, and the classrooms of Portland Public Schools.
Every program is delivered by certified instructors with real-world experience, customized to your industry, and scheduled around your Portland operation. No commute for your team. No generic content. No shortcuts.
Everything Portland employers need to know about our training programs, certifications, and onsite delivery.
On August 27, 2025, the Health & Safety Institute updated AVERT (Active Violence Emergency Response Training) to AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training). This is not a cosmetic rebrand — it represents a fundamental shift in philosophy and curriculum.
Portland organizations — from Maine Medical Center and Portland Public Schools to the port authority and Old Port businesses — that completed AVERT training before August 2025 are now operating on outdated protocols. Safety Is A Mindset delivers the current AVIRT standard in Portland with instructors certified under HSI's updated curriculum.
Organizations trained across the U.S. including New England
Portland, Maine values practical expertise over polished presentations. Safety Is A Mindset brings exactly that — instructors who've been in the field, who understand Maine's working environments, and who deliver training that actually sticks.
No commute, no lost shift time, no logistics headaches. Our instructors travel to your Portland waterfront facility, construction site, hospital, or office — with all equipment included.
We understand Portland's working environment — maritime, fishing, healthcare, hospitality, construction, and education. Every program is adapted to your specific hazard profile and Maine regulatory requirements.
Every active violence course we deliver in Portland uses the updated HSI AVIRT curriculum. If your team was trained under AVERT before August 2025, their protocols are out of date. We fix that.
Our CPR, OSHA, AVIRT, and First Aid certifications are recognized by Portland and Maine employers, state regulators, federal contractors, and national accrediting bodies.

Detailed information on each training program we deliver to Portland workplaces — compliance requirements, course content, and who needs it.
CPR certification is a regulatory requirement across multiple Portland industries — OSHA mandates trained personnel in many workplace categories, and Maine's healthcare, childcare, and marine licensing frameworks add additional obligations. Safety Is A Mindset offers group CPR classes, individual certifications, and renewal tracking programs for Portland employers of every size.
Our CPR/AED cards are valid for 2 years and recognized by all Maine employers and regulatory bodies. We track expiration dates for your entire Portland team and schedule recertification proactively. View CPR certification details →

OSHA 10-hour training is required for workers on most Portland construction sites and many industrial facilities. The OSHA 30-hour program is the standard for supervisors and safety officers throughout Maine. Safety Is A Mindset delivers both programs with instructors experienced in Maine's construction, maritime, and general industry regulatory environment.
We deliver OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 training directly to Portland job sites, offices, and facilities — no travel required for your crew. Both Construction and General Industry tracks are available. OSHA cards are recognized by Portland contractors, Maine state agencies, and federal project owners.
Severe bleeding is the leading preventable cause of traumatic injury death. In Portland's working environments — fishing vessels, construction sites, hospital facilities, and public spaces — the risk of traumatic injury is real and immediate. Safety Is A Mindset teaches Portland teams to control life-threatening bleeding using techniques drawn from military and tactical medicine.
Our curriculum follows current TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) guidelines and integrates naturally with AVIRT training for a complete emergency response capability. Schedule a bleeding control session in Portland →

We needed AVIRT training for Portland Public School staff district-wide. Safety Is A Mindset delivered the updated 2025 curriculum — not the old AVERT material — and our principals and teachers felt genuinely prepared. Strongly recommend for any Maine school district.
The CPR and bleeding control session for our Maine Medical Center unit was professional, thorough, and completely onsite — our staff didn't lose a single patient care hour. Cards were issued same day and tracking is set up for our next renewal cycle. Excellent program.

Yes — CPR certifications expire every 2 years. Once expired, a renewal or recertification course is required to maintain compliance with Maine and OSHA requirements. Safety Is A Mindset tracks expiration dates for your entire Portland team and schedules recertification proactively — so you're never caught out of compliance.

AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training) replaced AVERT (Active Violence Emergency Response Training) on August 27, 2025, when HSI updated the curriculum. The key difference is philosophical: AVERT trained teams to react to active violence after it began. AVIRT trains teams to respond immediately and proactively, with integrated medical response capabilities. Portland organizations — schools, hospitals, port facilities, businesses — that hold pre-August 2025 AVERT certifications are now operating on outdated protocols. Learn more about AVIRT in Portland →

Arterial bleeding requires immediate action. Recommended protocol: (1) Apply firm direct pressure immediately; (2) for limb wounds that don't stop, apply a tourniquet 2–3 inches above the wound; (3) for junctional wounds (groin, armpit, neck) pack with hemostatic gauze. On Portland's working waterfront and construction sites, response time before EMS arrival can be significant — hands-on training is essential. Schedule bleeding control training in Portland →
