SAFER is customized specifically for your workspace. MMS partners with your unit leadership to analyze the risks and recent security incidents that have affected the unit, and develop the training accordingly. The training involves studying video footage of actual hospital incidents, learning to recognize escalating behaviors, and how to stay safe when somebody becomes aggressive. SAFER is intended for large groups (like entire units or departments), broken down into multiple sessions with 15-25 participants in order to reach everyone in the group. SAFER requests must come from unit leadership.
