Why Indy's Workforce Can't Afford to Skip Safety Training

Indianapolis is Indiana's economic engine — 1.17 million jobs spanning manufacturing, life sciences, logistics, healthcare, and government. Indiana holds 2.04× the national average concentration of manufacturing jobs. One unprepared moment can cost lives and millions in liability.

About Safety Is A Mindset

Manufacturing Is Indy's Backbone — And Its Biggest Hazard

With 98,100 manufacturing employees in the Indianapolis MSA — including Allison Transmission, Rolls-Royce North America, and Eli Lilly — Indiana's 2.04× national manufacturing concentration means more workers in high-risk environments than almost any state. OSHA compliance and active violence preparedness aren't optional.

Crossroads of America = Nation's Largest Logistics Target

Trade, Transportation & Utilities employs 246,100 workers in Indianapolis. Amazon, FedEx, and Express Scripts operate massive distribution centers across Marion County — environments where slip-and-fall, equipment incidents, and emergency response readiness are daily concerns. Onsite safety training is the frontline solution.

→ Onsite Safety Programs

Healthcare & Life Sciences Require the Highest Standard

IU Health, Eli Lilly, Anthem, AstraZeneca, and Salesforce employ tens of thousands in the Indy metro. Hospitals, clinics, and pharma facilities require current CPR, AED, bleeding control, and AVIRT training — especially following HSI's 2025 update replacing legacy AVERT protocols.

→ AVIRT + CPR Training

$9 Billion Downtown Investment = More Employees, More Risk

Indianapolis is in the middle of a $9 billion downtown development boom — with construction crews, hospitality workers, convention center staff, and 550+ annual events including the Indy 500 and Gen Con. Dense, high-footfall environments need trained responders at every level.

AVIRT vs. AVERT

Indianapolis Needs Current Active Violence Training

Effective August 27, 2025, HSI retired AVERT (Active Violence Emergency Response Training) — the program many Indianapolis employers still have on file — and launched AVIRT: Active Violence Immediate Response Training. The update integrates expert input from military, law enforcement, and emergency medicine, shifting focus from reactive emergency posture to proactive, immediate-action empowerment.

For Indianapolis's Convention Center, IU Health campus, Amazon distribution hubs, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway — venues and workplaces where large crowds gather — outdated AVERT training is no longer sufficient.

Instructors Who've Been There

Safety Is A Mindset was founded on a simple conviction: the best safety instructors aren't classroom theorists — they're people who've operated in real emergencies. When your Indianapolis team trains with us, they get exactly that. Both instructors bring real-world, high-stakes field experience to every session.

Founder & Lead Instructor
Brandon S. Beaver
HSI AuthorizedOSHA Outreach TrainerFirefighterAVIRT Certified

Brandon brings a firefighting and emergency response background to every session — a perspective that fundamentally changes how safety training is delivered. His teaching philosophy: safety isn't a binder on a shelf. It's the split-second decision your Indianapolis team makes when no one else is coming. Brandon has trained thousands across the Midwest, delivering programs that change behavior — not just checkbox outcomes.

Senior Instructor — Medical Operations
Travis E. Beaver
Navy CorpsmanAdvanced TraumaCPR InstructorAHA Certified

As a U.S. Navy Corpsman, Travis has delivered clinical trauma care in environments where equipment failures and split-second decisions mean life or death. That expertise flows directly into Safety Is A Mindset's bleeding control and CPR curriculum — giving Indianapolis's manufacturing plants, hospital support staff, and logistics teams training that reflects real medical emergencies, not sanitized simulations.

What Indiana Clients Say

Hear from Hoosier employers — manufacturing managers, HR directors, safety coordinators, and school administrators — who've trained their teams with Safety Is A Mindset across Indiana.

★★★★★

"We've run safety training programs before — checkbox stuff. What Safety Is A Mindset delivered was completely different. Brandon's team ran our entire Indianapolis warehouse through AVIRT and bleeding control in one day. My supervisors left knowing exactly what to do. That's worth more than any certificate."

Operations Director
Indianapolis Distribution Center
★★★★★

"Our OSHA 30 recertification was overdue across eight supervisors. Safety Is A Mindset accommodated our schedule, came to our facility in Fishers, and made the content directly relevant to our manufacturing processes. Efficient, professional, and exactly what we needed."

EHS Manager
Indy Metro Manufacturing Group
★★★★★

"Travis's military medical background elevated our CPR and trauma response training to a level our hospital support staff had never experienced. They walked away with real confidence — not just a card to file. I'd recommend this to every healthcare employer in Indianapolis."
