Unlike outdated "lockdown-only" or basic Run/Hide/Fight presentations, AVIRT (Active Violence Immediate Response Training) is a comprehensive, scenario-based program built on current threat research and adult learning principles.

Customization is core to our methodology. Before every Gresham training engagement, our instructors conduct a site assessment of your facility — reviewing floor plans, entry/exit points, security infrastructure, and existing emergency protocols. AVIRT scenarios are then designed around your specific building, job roles, and risk profile. A scenario for a Gresham manufacturing plant looks nothing like one for Legacy Medical or MHCC's campus.
Yes. All Safety Is A Mindset training programs are designed to meet or exceed Oregon workplace safety regulations, applicable OSHA standards (Oregon OSHA), and industry-specific compliance frameworks. Every Gresham participant receives a training certificate, and we provide comprehensive documentation packages that satisfy regulatory audits and insurance requirements.
We typically respond to Gresham training inquiries within one business day. For urgent needs, we can often mobilize within 48–72 hours. Standard scheduling lead time is 1–2 weeks for most programs, allowing time for our instructors to complete the site assessment and curriculum customization. For large-scale Gresham deployments involving 100+ participants, we recommend scheduling 3–4 weeks in advance to ensure the best instructor match and preparation quality.
