SRI has decided to support the charity “Toys for Tots” during this holiday season while also supporting the city of Indianapolis. Our employees have been given the opportunity to wear jeans and colts gear for a cash donation every Friday from the beginning of September through mid December. SRI will be matching each donation dollar for dollar and then purchasing toys to donate to the Marine’s Toys for Tots program. We are excited to participate in such an event and are humbled with this opportunity.
 

Interactive or hands-on training techniques play a critical role when conveying safety knowledge and demonstrating safe work behaviors in hazardous work environments.  Interactive training is effective because it instills the realization that an actual injury/illness can occur.  This type of training exposes attendees to the vulnerable feelings of being the victim, and can provide motivation to learn about how to avoid such hazards. 

The effectiveness of interactive training stems from the realization that an actual injury/illness can happen and from the “vulnerability” an attendee feels, can play a primary role in motivating individuals to learn about how to avoid exposure to such hazards.

Safety Resources offers customizable training courses that include aspects of both traditional classroom settings as well as interactive approaches that encourage adult learning and employee buy-in.  We focus on eliminating the “old school” mentality of construction work and strive toward creating an atmosphere of engaging training with focus on real world scenarios that your workforce can relate to.

SRI would like to welcome Drew Coombs as an integral part of the team.  Drew is joining Safety Resources in the capacity of a Site Safety Consultant and specializes in contractor and electrical safety.

Safety Resources participated in the 2010 annual ISA Golf Outing on Thursday, June 24th 2010

Negative outlooks have been common, but, we at Safety Resources, have continued to follow the foundational principles that have made us successful throughout the years.  We celebrate our 15^th year with a renewed commitment to supporting our clients; we consider ourselves partners with you, and we have considered everything we do as support in this concept. 

We have not always shared this message outside our firm.  Now, though, we have decided to make this message more widely known by sharing our mission statement:

 Saving Lives. Saving Companies.

These words reflect precisely what we do.

Even though we are reinforcing our core principles, we are also changing some to meet the challenges ahead. Earlier this year, our founder, Robert Baldwin began executing a business plan to provide expanded ownership.  On February 22, 2010, I, Kristin VanSoest, SRI’s long time Director of Operations, assumed majority interest and the responsibility as President of the firm.  With this change, the WBE Certification was applied for and state certification is expected soon.  This classification as a Woman Owned Business will bring a powerful resource to our clients who want and need to meet set-aside guidelines and mandates.  My ownership and management of our 15 year history of performance and financial stability will satisfy even the most demanding standards for woman ownership credibility.

We are excited to share this news, and continue our firm’s principles with a new vision of growth.

On April 15^th, 2010, SRI had the pleasure of attending the 17^th Annual MICCS Safety Awards Banquet, and enjoyed the opportunity to connect with other safety professionals in the Indianapolis Safety Community.

Safety Resources is proud to announce that Kristin VanSoest is now the President of SRI.  With that exciting news, Safety Resources’ certification for WBE status is pending.   

We would like to congratulate the Indianapolis Roofers Safety Group on being awarded the 2010 Governor’s Workplace Safety Award for partnerships in construction. Utilizing Safety Resources Inc. they have been able to come together and have demonstrated exceptional advances in safety & health.
