Intimidator Group has implemented a safety process called SafeStart for all employees to gain personal safety skills that drive self-awareness of human factors at work, at home, or on the road.

“This initiative is crucial to creating a culture of safety that reaches beyond the workplace,” stated Stacey Garwood, the health and safety specialist for Intimidator Group. “By developing a safety-first mindset and sharing that knowledge with family and friends, we’re also creating safer environments in our homes and communities.”

According to a media release, thousands of worksites use SafeStart’s safety and human error reduction training to cut down on common states and errors that lead to injuries and fatalities. The sessions focus on making human factors more understandable, safety training more personable, and providing organizations with a more engaging and useful approach to keeping people safe.

“SafeStart is a holistic approach to workplace safety,” said Mike Groeneveld, director of operations at Intimidator Group. “Through improved communication and meaningful feedback, the system will help employees develop stronger self-awareness and self-management to reduce risk of injury both on and off the job.”

Training at Intimidator Group’s Batesville facilities began the first week in May. It will continue long-term with an observation and feedback process, ongoing supervisor training, orientation for new hires, and follow-up coaching and assessments. The release said that increasing participation in workplace training and shifting attitudes about safety to a 24/7 approach will foster a more robust and permanent safety culture for the company.
