Yes. All Safety Is A Mindset programs are designed to meet Oregon OSHA (OR-OSHA) workplace safety requirements, applicable federal OSHA standards, and industry‑specific compliance frameworks. Every Portland participant receives a completion certificate, and we provide full documentation packages appropriate for regulatory audits, insurance reviews, and accreditation requirements.

Deeply customized. Before every Portland engagement, our instructors conduct a site assessment of your specific facility — reviewing floor plans, entry and exit points, security infrastructure, existing emergency protocols, and your team's job roles. AVIRT scenarios are then designed specifically for your building and workforce. An AVIRT session at an OHSU hospital has entirely different scenarios than one at Nike's campus or at Intel's manufacturing facility in Hillsboro.
