Our AVIRT program provides a standardized safety protocol across the entire energy value chain, ensuring consistent emergency response from the wellhead to the refinery.
The oil and gas sector presents unique challenges that generic active shooter programs fail to address. AVIRT is built for these high-stakes environments.
An active threat on a rig or refinery isn't just a personnel risk—it can trigger fires, explosions, or hazardous material releases. Our training addresses the intersection of security threats and process safety.
Many oil & gas locations, such as offshore platforms or remote pipeline stations, have extended EMS response times. Your workforce must be trained to be self-sufficient and stabilize situations independently.
With rotating crews, multiple contractors, and shift work, maintaining a consistent safety culture is difficult. AVIRT creates a standardized response language everyone understands, regardless of employer.
Oil & gas facilities are designated as critical infrastructure by DHS and TSA. Our AVIRT program aligns with rigorous security directives to ensure compliance and safety.

In the oil and gas industry, the likelihood of traumatic injury—whether from machinery or a violent event—is higher than in standard office environments. AVIRT integrates life-saving medical response into every scenario.
Our instructors, many with combat medic backgrounds, teach your team how to apply tourniquets, pack wounds, and stabilize patients while an active threat is ongoing or immediately following an incident.
We also offer comprehensive CPR and First Aid Certification tailored for industrial teams.


Specific tactics for protecting critical operations centers, SCADA systems, and limited-access zones from intrusion and active threats.

Remote location tactics, communication protocols for dead zones, and coordinated evacuation strategies for dispersed teams.

Mustering procedures, lifeboat loading under duress, and medical response capabilities when shore support is hours away.
Our team is comprised of Navy Corpsmen, Firefighters, and EMTs who have operated in combat zones and high-stress industrial environments. We don't just teach theory—we bring real-world experience to your facility.
"Safety Is A Mindset delivered AVIRT training across three of our refinery sites. The scenarios were realistic, the instructors understood our operational constraints, and our teams left genuinely prepared."
