Alden B. Davis: Pioneer in Safety Cultures and Creator of Safe-ari™

His career spans aerospace, steel industry, and beyond, where he has consistently demonstrated significant improvements in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) through innovative safety practices and leadership strategies.
Drawing inspiration from his firsthand experiences on an African safari, Alden developed Safe-ari™—a groundbreaking program that integrates the lessons of situational awareness and risk management observed in Savannah wildlife. Safe-ari™ transcends conventional safety protocols by leveraging socio-biomimicry, where insights from the animal kingdom inform and enhance human safety practices. Zebras, Cape buffalo, baboons, and other animals offer invaluable lessons in vigilance, unity, and risk management, which Alden translates into actionable strategies for businesses.
His approach has been lauded as “new, fresh, novel, and innovative,” earning accolades such as “the best presentation in 15 years” at the Connecticut OSHA Roundtable. Safe-ari™ has proven to be an effective tool for engaging and educating employees on safety, making it a memorable and impactful experience. The program not only initiates a shift in safety mindset but also provides ongoing reinforcement through materials like posters, playing cards, and even a children’s book.
Alden’s work extends beyond presentations; his expertise has been reflected in his weekly radio segment on CBS Newstalk radio in Connecticut and his presentations at prestigious universities and industry conferences. His principle-based approach to change and his focus on creating inclusive, safety-minded environments has led to notable success stories in various sectors.
