AVIRT — Active Violence Immediate Response Training — is the current HSI-standard program (replacing AVERT as of August 2025) that prepares construction crews to respond immediately to active violence before law enforcement arrives. Safety Is A Mindset brings this military-grade training directly to your job site — tailored to the unique hazards and layout of construction environments.
Hands-on practice with active threat response, evacuation routes, and team coordination around heavy equipment and scaffolding.
→ Active Shooter Response Course
Tourniquet application, wound packing, and arterial bleeding control — essential when EMS response times to remote job sites can exceed 30 minutes. Complements our CPR and first aid training.
Supervisors learn to direct crews during an active threat — who calls 911, who retrieves trauma kits, who leads evacuation. Practiced until it becomes automatic.
→ Construction AVIRT overviewMove from freeze to action. AVIRT trains crews to react in the critical first minutes — before law enforcement arrives.
Tourniquet application, wound packing, and pressure techniques — the most effective methods to control life-threatening bleeding on the job site.
Drills built around scaffolding, trenches, confined spaces, and heavy equipment. We come to your site — not a generic classroom.
Clear roles for every crew member — practiced until coordination is automatic under stress, even across multiple subcontractors.
Integrate AVIRT with your existing emergency action plans and OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 safety programs for a comprehensive safety net.
Construction environments present unique active violence vulnerabilities: open perimeters with multiple access points, distributed crews across large areas, heavy machinery that limits awareness, and remote locations with long EMS response times. AVIRT for Construction addresses all of these directly.
✅ Immediate response protocols for active threats before law enforcement arrives
✅ OSHA-aligned training — integrates with OSHA 10 and OSHA 30
✅ Bleeding control methods tailored to construction injuries and tool access
✅ On-site delivery with scenarios matching your actual equipment and layout
✅ Multi-employer site coordination across general contractors and subs

Every AVIRT session for construction is customized to real job site conditions. Here are examples of the scenario types we deliver on-site:
Challenge simulated: Active threat enters a large commercial construction site with 100+ workers from multiple subcontractors who don't share a unified response plan.
Training focus: Unified command structure, cross-team communication, evacuation coordination, and bleeding control triage.
Outcome: Every crew member knows their role — regardless of which company badge they wear.
Challenge simulated: Serious penetrating injury on an isolated site with a 30+ minute EMS response time. No designated first responder on shift.
Training focus: Tourniquet application, wound packing, improvised hemorrhage control, and EMS handoff communication.
Outcome: Crew members can stabilize life-threatening bleeding until professional help arrives.
