Program Contents

SafeStart consists of five modules. Each takes approximately 90 minutes. Ideally, the modules are conducted one week or two weeks apart. Each consists of a videotape segment, a question and answer workbook, another videotape segment and a table group discussion.

Leader's Guide & Implementation

A detailed leader's guide with accompanying PowerPoint^TM presentation makes delivering SafeStart easy.  Anyone who completes a SafeStart train-the-trainer course (public or in-house) can lead or facilitate SafeStart using these tools.  When delivering the course, each participant will receive 5 workbooks and personal state-to-error cards to help them learn and remind them of the simple concepts and critical error reduction techniques they will view in the videos and read in the workbooks.

SafeStart Home Kit

Also included for each employee is a kit containing four DVDs, access to the online course and an Awards program designed to help employees teach their family members SafeStart.  The DVDs are:

			Taking SafeStart Home In three parts, this DVD helps the employee introduce the SafeStart concepts to their family using video, stories and the SafeStart cards.
			Boo Boo Bandits This entertaining DVD will get young children excited about safety, teach them how to avoid injury by recognizing hazards and help pave the way for learning SafeStart.
			Hurt at Home An introduction teaches everyone how to communicate the SafeStart concepts with each other while additional segments further address specific age groups.
			SafeStart on the Road As an excellent precursor to the full SafeStart course, this DVD will get teens and parents talking the same language about driving safely.

The online course covers the same content as the workbooks in a fun, interactive format for everyone over the age of twelve.  However, this is "safety training", so we developed the SafeStart Awards program to help employees motivate their family members to participate.  The Awards programs gives all employees, and their families who participate in the SafeStart training, chances to instantly WIN GREAT PRIZES they select from a catalog.

Other Materials

Other materials are also available to help solidify the concepts, extend the learning and remind employees of the concepts, techniques, and habits they need to build to avoid incidents and injuries.  Some of the materials we currently have are five extended application unit workbooks, toolbox and compliance DVDs and PowerPoints, an accident investigation program and SafeTrack, our observation and feedback process.  We also have services, support and promotional items that will help you sustain SafeStart over a period of five years or more with additional programs being developed continuously.

Why does it work?

SafeStart works because it is based on real scenarios and simple concepts that everyone can relate to and apply to any situation in their everyday lives at work, at home, and on the road.  Humor in the workbooks keeps the learning process enjoyable and gets people talking about their experiences as they relate to the principles.
