Why Our Training Is Different

What Generic Training Looks Like

  • PowerPoint slides read from a script
  • Generic examples from unrelated industries
  • "Don't do this" without explaining why people do it
  • One-time event with no follow-up
  • English-only, regardless of workforce
  • Same content for every job role
  • A completion card, not real competence

What CDRisk Training Looks Like

  • Interactive sessions with discussion and real scenarios
  • Examples from your industry and your site
  • Why the brain takes shortcuts — and how to interrupt it
  • Taught by a CSP and active first responder
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) available
  • Tailored to specific job roles and hazards
  • Designed to build real competence on the floor

OSHA 10 & 30-hour outreach cards are available on request. We'll be straight with you: they satisfy a contractual box, but they aren't a substitute for real, hazard-specific competence — which is where we focus.

Instruction backed by the CSP, CHMM, CDGT, CIT, and OSHA Outreach Trainer credentials — and by years of real emergency response. Meet the instructor.
