🚨 Safety Alert! 🚨 In today's fast-paced world, the unexpected can happen at any moment. That's why businesses need to prioritize safety and preparedness now more than ever. 💼 Did you know that having employees trained in CPR and first aid can be a game-changer in emergency situations? Here's why: 1️⃣ Rapid Response: In a medical emergency, every second counts. Having employees who are trained in CPR and first aid can mean the difference between life and death, as they can provide immediate assistance while waiting for professional help to arrive. 2️⃣ Employee Well-being: Investing in CPR and first aid training shows that you value your employees' well-being. It not only equips them with life-saving skills but also instills confidence and peace of mind knowing they can handle emergencies both in the workplace and beyond. 3️⃣ Legal Compliance: Many industries have legal requirements or regulations mandating that businesses have trained personnel on-site. Ensuring compliance with these regulations not only protects your employees but also shields your business from potential liabilities. 4️⃣ Positive Brand Image: Demonstrating a commitment to safety and preparedness enhances your brand's reputation both internally and externally. Customers, clients, and partners are more likely to trust and engage with businesses that prioritize the well-being of their employees. 5️⃣ Team Building: CPR and first aid training can serve as a team-building activity, fostering collaboration and camaraderie among employees. Working together to acquire life-saving skills strengthens bonds and promotes a culture of mutual support within the organization.

It is imperative to stress the importance of immediately reporting accidents to employees in every workspace. Some accidents may not seem "that bad" at first, leading employees to delay reporting injuries or pain they don't feel until much later. In Nevada, workplace injuries need to be immediately reported, or employees may not receive workers compensation. You can ensure proper reporting by frequently reminding employees of BBSI's Nurse Triage Hotline, which they can call to receive medical advice and directions on where to go for treatment.  Learn more about BBSI's nurse hotline here:

PSA: listen to your security directors!!! If you are using a de escalation training program whose physical techniques are not preferred or used in other countries it’s because they are dangerous. And they can kill someone. No amount of training can correct a bad technique. Please, as a nurse who has taken oath to do no harm, look at all the elements of a physical tactics program. I have spent the last 10 years taking all of them (more than once) and reviewing ones that have just come out! Just because someone is teaching something does not mean it’s best practice! You can have a shitty roofer do your house and have leaks! It’s the same concept. NOT ALL PHYSICAL TACTICS ARE SAFE. But Mel, I’m not in security, how will I know? Here’s how; - They are still teaching pressure points- proven by research to be ineffective in psych and substance abuse (fyi that’s all your violent patients.) - They are placing people prone (face down) on the floor with BOTH arms controled in the back (it causes asphyxiation and pulmonary/cardiac stress) better choice is side lying or leg control and one arm. - they have someone using a two hand technique for head control. (2 hand Pressure on the head, neck or any area there is never acceptable. It takes very little force to control the head and neck when done correctly and when done with technique it can be done with one hand/arm only.) Reach out before you spend millions for training that’s going to maybe one day cost you millions in a lawsuit or worse, cause severe patient harm. Patient care is not policing folks. For expert advice please contact my good friend Doug Melia . He’s one of the best in use of force and is actually coming to the US in January! Make sure you connect with him while he’s here!
