Live Demos
Safety training will never be the same.
Most safety training is boring. To provide engaging, memorable, and impactful safety training, Live Safety Demos give workers the experience of an injury without actual harm. The demos incorporate hyper-realistic human body parts, physical simulations of tools and equipment, and high-speed videography.
We translate safety science into practice
Led by Dr. Matt Hallowell, Safety Function empowers safety leaders to prevent Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs) by understanding and controlling hazardous energy.
Vision
Our vision is to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities in the workplace.
Imagine a world where no one suffers a life-ending, life-threatening, or life-altering injury just for doing their job. While minor injuries have declined, serious injuries and fatalities have remained stubbornly flat. Our peer-reviewed research has uncovered why and how to change it. The key is identifying high-energy hazards and ensuring they are effectively controlled. With a scientific framework and clear principles, we help organizations focus on what truly saves lives.
Beliefs
We believe that good safety practice is grounded in evidence.
When it comes to safety, workers deserve the highest standards. Not just effort, but evidence. We believe safety beliefs should be tested, not taken on faith. The knowledge to prevent serious injuries and fatalities must be public, not hidden behind paywalls or proprietary systems. We believe that companies should be able to prevent SIFs on their own. Therefore, our role is to equip your team with the science, tools, and guidance. Not to do it for you, but to help you build lasting capability.
Team
We are a team of leading researchers and seasoned professionals with a singular focus: Preventing SIFs.​
Our team includes top safety scientists and the most experienced industry practitioners. We have done the research together—the hard work behind the evidence—and we have lived the transition from general safety to focused SIF prevention. We’ve seen the common pitfalls and know what it takes to succeed. Together, we’ve worked with hundreds of companies to turn knowledge into practice and research into results.

Approach
We help companies do what they already do...better.​
We don’t ask you to scrap your safety program or adopt someone else’s system. Instead, we strengthen what’s already in place by adding science, structure, and focus. We work within your existing processes to sharpen your efforts on what truly prevents SIFs.
We do this by:
-
Translating research into action. We turn peer-reviewed science into practical methods that fit the flow of work.
-
Focusing on energy and controls. We help shift attention from compliance and behavior to the physical realities that cause serious harm.
-
Building internal capability. We educate and coach your team to lead the change, so progress is sustainable and owned from within.
-
Making knowledge open. The science behind our methods is openly shared. We believe that the knowledge to prevent SIFs should be freely accessible to all, not hidden or restricted.​​​
