From the Fire Line to Your Front Line

CDRisk was built by someone who has responded to what happens when safety programs fail. That experience drives a different approach.

The Story

Before Brandon Babcock became a safety consultant, he spent over nine years as a firefighter and paramedic. He responded to the calls that happen when training fails, when shortcuts become habit, and when “we've always done it that way” finally catches up.

Every serious workplace incident he responded to had the same pattern: the company had paperwork. They had an OSHA card in a drawer somewhere. They had a safety manual nobody read. What they didn't have was a system that actually changed how people work.

That realization led to CDRisk — Critical Dynamics Risk Management. The premise is simple: compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. Meeting OSHA minimums keeps you out of trouble. Building a behavioral safety culture keeps your people alive.

CDRisk works exclusively with mid-size companies (50–500 employees) in Northern Utah. We don't do drive-by inspections or generic training. We embed as your monthly safety partner — the same person, the same site, building relationships with your supervisors and your crews. Because safety culture isn't built with a binder. It's built with trust.

Our Approach

We believe most workplace incidents aren't caused by workers who don't know the rules. They're caused by human brains doing what human brains do.

Behavioral Science

We apply cognitive psychology and organizational behavior research to understand why incidents actually happen — not just which rule was broken.

Field Experience

Our recommendations come from real-world emergency response experience, not just textbooks. We've seen what failure looks like firsthand.

Whole-Team Inclusion

If part of your workforce doesn't understand the training, you don't have a safety program. We deliver in English and Spanish because safety has no language barrier.
