Workplace Violence Series, Part II: Keeping Your Facility Safe (Recorded)

Worker safety is a topic that is a priority for all of us. We recently held a webinar on workplace violence prevention and safety that is available in our library. That training took a look at facility safety as a general overview and now the next step is worker safety is to take a deeper look at the facility where you are located. Part 1 on personal safety and Part 3 on de-escalation techniques are available for purchase along with bundle packages of part 1 & 2 together and part 1, 2, and 3 together.

There is a crime-fighting tool that is called Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design or CPTED. The idea is we can put systems in place to greatly enhance workplace safety from crime and unruly behavior by taking a systematic approach to make your workplace feel and actually be safer.

This facility safety training will blend a better understanding of CPTED principles so you can look at your own environment to make changes to enhance safety and review five case studies of medical practices that highlight different risk profiles. The combination of education of the principles and how to apply them will help you know what opportunities you have at your practice to enhance safety. Your training will leave you with the Top 10 most common risks that need to be addressed.

There will be no CE credits available for the recorded version.

Objectives:

• Define the term Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design or CPTED
• List five opportunities for improvement that were identified in the examples of practices visited
• Recall the leading recommendation for protection of workers in every practice location.
