    The Culture of Ambulance Safety

    When organizations are reminded of the need for safety training — it’s often met with moans and groans.

    In this course your organization will gain insight into the ways and means of developing a culture of safety by acknowledging the issues of:

    • Professionalism
    • The need for evidence and incentive-based practices,

    At the end of this lesson you will be able to:

    • Identify the components of a safety culture
    • Determine best practices for setting up a culture of safety
    • Develop incentive-based practices for maintaining a safety culture within your organization
