Survivor training challenge. . . A creative approach to safety education program in a long term care facility.
Each year, the state of Wisconsin requires nursing homes to hold mandatory training sessions on several safety-related topics. These training sessions must include an update on infection control, a review of blood borne pathogens, techniques in accident prevention and information on bio-hazardous materials. This article outlines an inservice developed at Attic Angel Place in Madison, Wisconsin. Using the popular television show Survivors, the facility developed an obstacle course-like survivor training program dealing with accident prevention and bio-hazardous materials. 130 of the facility's 150 full and part time employees attended the "Survivor's Challenge".
