The Safety Intelligence Institute
Built locally. Available globally.
Professional, Technical Safety Training—Rooted in Real-World Experience
At the Safety Intelligence Institute, we believe effective safety training is built on more than regulations—it’s built on experience. Based in Hawaiʻi, our mission is to elevate safety performance across general industry, construction, and high‑hazard environments through practical, relevant, and professional training.
Our instructors bring decades of hands-on experience in Occupational Safety, military operations, construction environments, and general industry settings. Their backgrounds include field leadership, compliance oversight, and technical roles where safety isn’t theoretical—it’s mission‑critical. This depth of expertise allows us to deliver training that is not only accurate but genuinely useful on the job.
Training Designed Around Your Team
We offer a full range of in-house live and virtual online training options. Programs are tailored to your needs—from foundational awareness courses to Authorized Person and Competent Person-level instruction. Whether you require a standard curriculum or a fully customized program, our team designs training that fits your operations and supports your goals.
We also host a year‑round schedule of open-enrollment courses taught by some of Hawaiʻi’s most respected safety professionals. Our board-certified trainers combine technical mastery with real-world field experience, creating a learning environment that is engaging, practical, and immediately applicable.
Our training covers key OSHA, HIOSH, and EM 385‑1‑1 standards across general industry and construction disciplines.
