ABOUT US
Think Safe, Inc is a manufacturer, developer and leading integrator in the first aid industry that remains committed to setting new standards for comprehensive emergency readiness and response. At Think Safe we have been innovating with the end user in mind every step of the way. Our goal remains of simplifying emergency programs to a point where accuracy is ensured, equipment is easily maintained, lives are saved and costs are reduced.
Think Safe technology includes innovative patented products such as the Emergency Instruction Device (EID) and Self-contained Emergency Treatment (SET) Systems. Think Safe is also a software developer for first aid technology, with over 20 software programs developed to improve access to training or treatment instructions and ensure proper first aid or emergency equipment upkeep.
Think Safe also recently developed the patented EMMA (Emergency Management Mobile App) application to solve critical communication problems that existed in the continuum of care before the arrival of 911 dispatched professional rescuers. Think Safe provides bulk pricing synergy advantages over traditional AED or emergency equipment dealers due to our wholesaler arrangement on all brands/makes/models of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), evacuation systems or other critical emergency equipment.
Think Safe is also an established training center and operates the First Voice Training Network infrastructure that has over 500 instructors in the United States plus other countries. Think Safe has AED program management solutions, medical oversight services, CPR/First Aid/Safety-related training (online, blended or in-person) services and total emergency prevention, treatment or servicing solutions that are available a la carte or integrated to meet the client’s goals and needs.
OUR MISSION
Making Minutes Matter
Think Safe and our innovative First Voice products and services allow first aid, AED and overall emergency response programs that improve skills, reduce risks and costs.
Improve Skills
Think Safe's Emergency Instruction Device (EID) and Self-contained Emergency Treatment (SET) Systems are the product innovations of Think Safe. These product innovations are patented and bring technology to the first aid industry. With the simple press of a button, instant detailed American Heart Association/ECC/ILCOR approved instructions on what to do are immediately heard and seen by the responder or lay rescuers providing care. But we did not stop program improvements and skills improvements by just bringing our innovations to market. Additionally, our First Voice products and our First Voice Training (www.firstvoicetraining.com) options (online, blended, in-person, in-house) give rescuers and responder teams the capability to refresh on skills anytime and improve access to information and training.
Reduce Risk
Think Safe's First Voice products and services offer more than standard first aid programs and traditional ANSI unitized first aid kits. First Voice products are designed with easy-to use organized supplies that are ready to protect the responder and treat the victim, according to updated science and OSHA compliance standards. Restocking is simplified through the use of First Voice pre-packaged supply modules and our systems are all designed with easy "ready to run" status viewing designs plus are easy to restock or refill. SET Systems come in ergonomic backpack, EMS jump bag (roll-out), and rugged Pelican lifetime guaranteed dustproof and waterproof hard case configurations to fit your storage and response environmental needs. In addition, all SET Systems can accommodate an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) which improves care and response times during life threatening emergencies. But, Think Safe does not stop at products. Think Safe also provides custom developed software (firstvoicemanager.com and our First Voice Apps named EMMA, AED Notify, and HeartSafe) and other services that ensure maintenance and upkeep of the total program and reduce risk of legal liability.
Reduce Cost
Think Safe has case studies that show the client pays for the First Voice product and service investment in just one year or less. Think Safe products and services are well worth the small up-front investment. Better response means decreased worker's compensation insurance, lost time at work, replacement laborer costs and disability costs. Think Safe takes mandated training to a new level by pairing it with our proven technology for any responder team, first aid rescuer or employee use. Yet, the costs of the program are proven to decrease and the products and services are paid for through other program savings. A client recovers the investment made in under one year on average when coupled with a integrated transition to online, in-house or blended training methods. Ask for your case study to see how other companies have saved money every year, even during the initial year of implementation.
UNIQUE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM APPROACH
EMMA Developed by Think Safe
Technology Solving First Aid, Emergency Preparedness And Response, And Safety Program Long-Standing Problems
Think Safe’s EMMA technology solves emergency communication and asset/logistics transparency issues for threats and emergency events via mass notification alerts, two-way communications plus emergency plan execution and management tools. EMMA is a finishing touch to Think Safe’s comprehensive best practice program approach, which is leading the way for innovation in the marketplace that truly solves life threatening problems. Think Safe’s EMMA helps small, medium, and large school districts, communities, businesses and even families become competent at identifying and addressing emergency response needs and communicating in more effective ways, especially during times of crisis. Our unique approach in the market checks all of the boxes in a way our competitors do not — going beyond emergency response and crisis management planning or communications — by offering products, software, services and training that completely integrate and include community and 911 assets as well as private assets into the solution but overcome limitations of 911 systems. Think Safe’s EMMA and our other affordable software, products, training and service solutions offer a full suite of components that have you covered from A to Z and give you the ability to efficiently build out the best-suited program. Our program approach allows singular ala carte EMMA implementation as a final solution to a client’s existing program communication barriers but offers value-added best practice planning and actionable improvement in the areas of prevention, preparedness, threat/emergency response and review.
Prevent
Prevention focuses on creating concrete plans, training and exercises well ahead of a disaster. At Think Safe, we support emergency planning activities that allow organizations to reduce loss of life by offering products, software and services for all of your planning and emergency management protocols.
Prepare
Preparedness is a continuous cycle of activities such as emergency planning, staff training, drills, assessment and remedial actions. Preparedness and readiness go hand in hand at Think Safe as we help organizations and communities prepare for threats and emergencies.
Respond
The minutes between a threat or an emergency event and the time dispatched 911 responders arrive on site are critical to the most successful outcomes. Think Safe makes minutes matter with products, software and services that support the coordination and management of key resources (including personnel, equipment and supplies) which are relied upon during a threat or emergency.
Review
In post-emergency and threat settings, a qualitative review of the actions taken can help identify best practices, gaps and lessons learned. Think Safe knows that after action reviews (AARs) are important to making even more minutes matter in the next phase of the response or the next time a similar event occurs. We ensure that the data collected enables clients with best practice quality improvement processes and being more prepared for the future.
