Put Safety first

Hundreds of safety courses exist, but which one do you choose? What about changing safety requirements? How do you keep your leaders and employees on the same page so they know the safety procedures?

When your employees forget the training protocols meant to keep your business safe, you risk losing your business reputation, or even worse, human lives.

General safety shouldn't be hard, though; it should be a part of every business.

Build your business simply, safely, and effectively without the headaches of planning and documenting common safety scenarios. The 4 STEPS/4 SKILLS® online general safety course covers everything your Leaders and Employees need to hit the ground running without all the fuss. We've taken the most common safety scenarios over our 30 years of experience and simplified them into 8 modules, 4 STEPS, and 4 SKILLS.

The 4 STEPS/4 SKILLS® Methodology

This simple cycle ensures consistent training quality whether you're onboarding new hires or cross-training veterans.

The 4 STEPS Process

    Verification: Trainer signs off on competency

Start Small

Expand from leadership to every crew

Roll the framework out in phases so every team can adopt the language of safety.

Begin with the leadership course to establish expectations, then onboard frontline employees using the companion program. Both tracks share the same language and tools—so training is cohesive instead of fragmented.

Each module includes ready-to-use checklists, session guides, and reference sheets so teams can apply what they learn on day one.

Not Another General Safety Course

At DETAC, we see the problem with most general safety courses: they're:

  • Lengthy

    General safety courses can range from 6-12 hours in length, requiring clicking through diagrams and irrelevant stock footage.

  • Ambiguous

    Irrelevant industry-specific jargon.

  • Generic

    Stock photos, boring animations, and fictitious characters.

  • Clear

    We provide actionable steps to identify what to look for in the workplace to avoid incidents.

  • Tailored

    The two versions of 4 STEPS/4 SKILLS® build on each other without blurring the roles of supervisors and employees.

  • Updated

    We continually refresh content to stay ahead of evolving regulations, so you never need to replace your core safety training.

4 STEPS/4 SKILLS® was developed from real safety incidents and real-world casework gathered over 35 years.

We distilled the most common challenges into a framework your teams can apply immediately, without slogging through irrelevant content.

Culture

Made For You

At DETAC, we recognized the frustration that many business owners face. With hundreds of safety courses available, it's hard to know where to start or what actually works.

As a family-owned business, our CEO John saw a clear gap. Most businesses don't lack concern for safety. They simply struggle to make it a consistent part of their daily operations.

Safety isn't optional—it's a requirement for building a thriving business. We distilled decades of real-world experience into a framework any company can implement.

  • Protect your people with shared language and expectations
  • Strengthen team culture through high-trust communication
  • Minimize disruptions with clear procedures everyone understands
  • Build confidence by giving leaders and employees actionable tools
  • Create accountability from the jobsite to the boardroom

Imagine a team that knows what to do before incidents happen. That's the promise of 4 STEPS/4 SKILLS®—a program designed so safety is lived, not just learned.

Team collaboration and safety training

A practical roadmap that fits the way your teams actually work.

  • Leadership-Ready

    Equip supervisors with the coaching model they need to reinforce safety every day.

  • Employee-Focused

    Give frontline teams confidence with clear checklists, examples, and guided practice.

  • Scalable

Everywhere Access

Safety Once, Safety Everywhere

4 STEPS/4 SKILLS® works on desktop and mobile, so leaders and employees stay aligned—whether they're in the field, at the office, or on the move.

Real safety isn't about checking boxes—it's a lifestyle. That means keeping training within reach the moment someone needs to review a step, confirm a process, or onboard a new teammate.

  • In the field

    Offline-friendly checklists and video briefs keep teams ready during high-pressure work.

  • At the office

    Managers track compliance at a glance and reinforce key skills during standups.

Safety once, safety everywhere.
