This highly interactive learning experience takes BC Ambulance paramedics and dispatchers through a progression of theory / knowledge and practical physical skills that includes:
- Workplace behaviours
- Violence in the workplace
- WorkSafeBC (formerly WCB) related regulations
- BCAS related policies and procedures
- Situational awareness
- Verbal and physical distraction techniques for managing and escaping from threatening / violent incidents and attacks, and includes situational awareness
The purpose of this six instructional hour, intensive workshop is to provide a blend of knowledge and competencies that will enhance personal safety in the workplace, both for all personnel and the public at large.
In 2005, using a series of focus groups, case reviews and staff surveys, Canpro Training Resources worked closely with BC Ambulance Service to develop the Promoting Respect in the Workplace and Preventing and Managing Violence workshop. After a series of pilot tests of the workshop, Canpro has won successive contracts to deliver the workshop to BC Ambulance around the province since 2006.
