Life-Saving Rules & Critical Behaviors

Life-Saving Rules & Critical Behaviors.

Life-Saving Rules & Critical Behaviors.

Life-Saving Rules training that makes the non-negotiables impossible to forget, trained as decisions and behaviors on your own site rather than posters on a wall.

Did you know?

Life-Saving Rules exist because the same handful of activities keep killing people across industry. Training them as real decisions is what changes behavior.

Life-Saving Rules Training

Life-Saving Rules are a short list of non-negotiable behaviors covering the activities that cause the majority of industrial fatalities. Many operators adopt the IOGP set or a company variant of it. The rules typically cover:

  • Work authorization and permits
  • Energy isolation before work begins
  • Staying out of the line of fire
  • Safe mechanical lifting
  • Confined space entry controls
  • Driving and journey rules

The rules are easy to recite and harder to apply, because the situations that break them involve time pressure, unusual jobs and competing priorities. Knowing a rule isn't the same as recognizing the moment it applies.

Life-Saving Rules training treats each rule as a set of decisions. Workers face realistic situations where a rule is about to be bent, learn to recognize the moment, and build the habit of making the right call. Training uses your exact rule set and wording, so the training and your rule book always agree.

Why SHIIFT

SHIIFT works across every training format, which means the recommendation you get is honest: the mix that fits the problem rather than the one we happen to produce. Your rules are used verbatim, so the training and the poster never disagree.

  • Training videos: the real incidents behind each rule, told so crews understand why the rule earned its place on the list
  • Animation: violations and their consequences played out safely, in any language your workforce speaks
  • E-learning: every rule delivered to every worker with understanding checked, which turns a poster campaign into a verified program
  • Interactive scenarios: the edge cases where rules get bent, trained as decisions under the time pressure that bends them
  • VR: the highest-consequence rules given full intensity for the crews who face them daily
  • Posters: rule-by-rule visuals for every site, matched word for word to the training
  • PowerPoint materials: briefing decks that keep supervisors and crews on the same exact wording

Where you want the record, per-rule results report into your LMS through optional SCORM integration, ready for audits.

Get Started

We build from your rule set and your permits, whether you follow IOGP-style Life-Saving Rules or your own critical behaviors, and scenarios can be staged in recreations of your actual work areas.

Assessment results can report per learner to your LMS via the optional SCORM add-on, giving HSE leadership evidence that every worker can apply every rule and showing where refreshers are needed.

Talk to our team about the behaviors your organization has decided are non-negotiable.

Common questions

Do you work with standard or company-specific rules?

+

We build from your exact rule set and wording, whether you've adopted the IOGP Life-Saving Rules or written your own.

How is this different from our annual rules briefing?

+

Our scenarios train for where briefings inform: workers make the actual decision each rule protects, under realistic pressure, and we score them on it.

Can one program cover contractors too?

+

We deliver through web and LMS with multi-language support, which brings your contractors into the same program and the same records.

How long does a Life-Saving Rules program take?

+

We ship the first rule modules early and release the rest on a rolling schedule we agree with you.

Can training assets be reused for future courses?

+

Where a program builds 3D assets, we reuse your scenario environments as hazard hunts, procedure training and refreshers, so the rules program seeds your asset library.

How do Life-Saving Rules refreshers work?

+

We produce short scenario variants each cycle: the same rules in different situations, so recognition never goes stale.
