Make mandatory safety training fun and memorable—we’ll show you how!
Laboratory directors face increasing pressure from OSHA, the Joint Commission, COLA, and CAP to train frontline staff on safety compliance every year. Safety compliance training not only fulfills annual regulatory requirements, but also helps to maintain a safe work environment, protect your facility’s bottom line, and avoid fines or fees from major regulators.
But, on top of everything you already do on the job, we know there’s little time left to design a training program that’s both creative and educational.
That’s where the “Safety Lady™” comes in!
HCPro is proud to introduce Lab Safety Training Made Simple—a comprehensive training program delivered in an easy-to-use book and CD-ROM set. Written by "The Safety Lady,™" Terry Jo Gile, this resource is just as the name implies—it will help you make obligatory safety training simple and easy to do, as well as fun and interesting, so your staff won’t fall asleep!
Packed with tips, tools, games, activities, and case studies, Lab Safety Training Made Simple features training methods culled from lab experts in the field.
