Safety Is A Mindset brings military-grade, expert-led safety training directly to your Ann Arbor facility. From AVIRT active violence training to CPR certification and OSHA compliance — we help Washtenaw County organizations build resilient, safety-first cultures.
Our Programs in Ann Arbor
Every organization in Ann Arbor — from University of Michigan facilities to healthcare systems, biotech firms, and corporate headquarters — deserves safety training grounded in real-world expertise. Safety Is A Mindset delivers programs that meet Michigan state compliance requirements and exceed OSHA standards.
Updated August 2025
In August 2025, the Health & Safety Institute (HSI) officially retired the AVERT standard and launched Active Violence Immediate Response Training (AVIRT) — a comprehensive update reflecting current threat environments and response science. Safety Is A Mindset is fully AVIRT-certified and ready to bring this critical training to your Ann Arbor team.
Why Ann Arbor Needs Expert Safety Training
As home to the University of Michigan, a thriving life sciences corridor, and a growing technology sector, Ann Arbor faces a uniquely complex workplace safety environment. Washtenaw County's diverse employer base — from Michigan Medicine to research labs and Fortune 500 companies — demands safety training that is both OSHA-compliant and operationally realistic.
Safety Is A Mindset understands this landscape. Founded by military veterans with hands-on experience in high-pressure emergency environments, our trainers bring credibility that generic safety vendors cannot replicate. Whether you run a research lab near Plymouth Road, a corporate office downtown, or a healthcare facility on the U-M campus, we design programs around your actual risk profile.
Michigan's occupational safety regulations align closely with federal OSHA standards, but savvy Ann Arbor employers know that minimum compliance is a floor — not a ceiling. Our onsite safety training programs go beyond checkboxes, creating the kind of safety culture that measurably reduces incidents, lowers liability, and retains talent.
Need a CPR certification renewal before your certifications expire? Planning a comprehensive active shooter preparedness program for your Ann Arbor campus? We handle programs for groups of 5 to 500 — all delivered on your schedule.

Safety Knowledge for Ann Arbor
Yes — CPR certifications expire every 2 years. Many Ann Arbor employers are caught off-guard when their employees' cards lapse. Safety Is A Mindset offers group CPR renewal courses onsite so your entire team stays current at once. Expired certifications expose your organization to liability — don't wait.
OSHA 10 is a 10-hour federal safety certification covering general industry and construction hazards. Many Michigan state contracts and University of Michigan projects require it. Our OSHA 10 course in Ann Arbor is delivered onsite in 1-2 days with zero disruption to operations. OSHA 30 provides 30 hours of advanced training for safety supervisors and project managers.
Arterial bleeds are life-threatening in minutes. Our bleeding control training teaches tourniquet application, wound packing, and pressure techniques drawn from military combat medicine — skills that have proven to save lives in civilian emergencies. This training is especially critical for Ann Arbor healthcare facilities, research labs, and schools.
AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training) replaced AVERT in August 2025 as HSI's certified standard. It expands upon AVERT's framework with updated protocols for civilian responders, greater integration with medical response, and scenario-based practice. Safety Is A Mindset is fully AVIRT certified — making us one of the most current training providers available to Ann Arbor employers today.
