How to certify an alternative safety training

EOHHS required training elements, including:

• Definitions of Human Service Worker, Workplace and Workplace Violence
• Importance of Human Service Worker safety education
• Risk assessment techniques
• De-escalation strategies
• Connections between actions and reactions
• Pertinent laws and regulations
• Identification of additional resources on human worker safety

Programs may have several safety trainings designed for different staff in their organization.  As part of compliance efforts, programs must keep a list of attendance at each training and ensure that all staff attend the appropriate training within the established timelines.  EOHHS has the authority to audit any program to request training records to ensure compliance with safety training.
