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.
