AVERT

 (Active Violence Emergency Response Training)

Summary

“Shots fired”! is never a sound nor a statement that wants to be heard or uttered in any business, house of worship or public activity…

When violence occurs, seconds count, and you can’t always wait for EMS to arrive. AVERT (Active Violence Emergency Response Training) enables you to become an immediate responder by giving you the tools to prepare for potential violence and react quickly in life-threatening situations. After an AVERT training session, you and your team will be able to:

  • Recognize (potential) warning signs and growth in situational awareness of persons and/or surroundings
  • Gain confidence and empowerment to assess and decide accordingly what to do during an emergency
  • IF active shooter is present:  Decide whether to Escape, Evade or Attack
  • Tips and skills – as it relates to Escape, Evade or Attack – during an Active Shooter situation
  • Correct application, and placement of life-saving tourniquets and/or wound-packing techniques
  • Develop an Emergency Action Plan (EAP)

Course

Utilizing Health & Safety Institute (HSI) AVERT curriculum and Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. concepts for Buying Time and basic Triage concepts, this course is designed to educate, equip and prepare the student in what to expect and how best to handle when the tragic may happen.

Advance First Aid: Breathing life into longer-term care

 

 

 

 

 

Summary

It’s one thing to consider caring for an ill or injured person for a few minutes until  the fire department shows up. But what if you need to care for someone for hours or days? What kind of impact can extended care have on the patient? On the rescuer? Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. will equip you through dynamic, practical and relevant training.

 

Consider answers to these questions:

  • Why S.T.O.P. before go?
  • Should I think M.A.N. when assessing someone?
  • What’s so significant about keeping the good side up?
  • Is comfort care first aid?
  • Do quality wound care and quality CPR have something in common?
  • Why is understanding breathing key to successfully stabilizing any musculoskeletal injury?
  • Situational Awareness and Patient Assessment should go hand-n-hand.  Consider what happens if they don’t (see 1/2 video below)
  • Consider this alternative when assessing someone for possible CPR (see 2/2 video below)
  • And so much more…

Art of the Injury Free Day

 

 

 

 

 

Summary

Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit”.

 

I would say, as long as our habits are good, and founded on accurate and healthy principles, then there is a lot of wisdom in what Aristotle said. Excellence is always a worthy goal.  And excellence will not come to fruition by some random acts, but through awareness, healthy habits, practice and acquiring skill.  It is a lifestyle not simply a life experience.

 

The Art of an Injury-fee day rediscovers helpful lessons in basic ergonomics, driver focus, situational awareness, and more. These rediscovered lessons will spark imagination and fan into flame practical tools and better understanding , so that we can navigate through any day to be an Injury-free-Day.

 

Invite Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. to guide and equip you in the Art-of-an-Injury-Free-Day https://shawnritchey.com/contact/

 

  • Basic Ergonomics: Movement; Lifting; Practical preventions for mid-back, low-back and forearm injuries.
  • Driver Focus: Where we should look may surprise you; SMOG can help with driving; Mirror, mirror, what do you see? What can 1-2 seconds  get us? And more…
  • Situational Awareness:  The body’s response when under duress; The value of S.T.O.P before you go in any situation;  Practical suggestions for combating “Line of Fire” mishaps;  Grow in awareness without living in fear; And more…

CPR/AED & Basic First Aid

 

“Dynamic teaching stays with you.  I have remembered past teaching from Shawn”.  Honeywell Aerospace, Redmond, WA

 

CPR/AED or Basic First Aid can be taught separately if desired.  This may create more flexibility for scheduling, length of time in class, etc.  Let Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. provide dynamic, practical, relevant and tailored training.  Energized Education You’ll Remember!

Summary

Why learn (or relearn) CPR?

 

Cardiac arrest is the leading killer in the nation for both male and female adults. A cardiac event is happening every 39 seconds!  Though sudden cardiac arrest is most common, someone can also die from secondary cardiac arrest.  Both sudden cardiac arrest and secondary cardiac arrest can happen to persons of any age.

 

Does quality CPR matter?

 

Yes!  There is value to all life and any effort someone makes on behalf of another individual needs to be commended.  But quality does matter.  Although quality CPR by no means guarantees success, it can absolutely increase the odds for success.

 

While learning the latest international guidelines, Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. will also provide practical and relevant steps for remembering your skill.

 

But the whole story is that if someone is in sudden cardiac arrest, they will need more than quality CPR.  When someone is in cardiac arrest without receiving defibrillation, their chance of successfully being revived could diminish by 10% every minute.  So the best chance for someone is quality CPR & defibrillation in a timely fashion.

 

In this course you will learn what an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is and is NOT. Consider Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E.’s connection between quality CPR and an AED with seat belts and an airbag.

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines first aid as “emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before professional medical treatment becomes available.” Any recognized curriculum will train you to OSHA’s definition. But consider what Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. can add…

  • Clear understanding of how the body responds during an emergency.
  • The answer to the question, “why S.T.O.P. before go”?
  • Discover the value of comfort-care as legitimate first aid.
  • Consider the benefit of rescue breathing for someone without “sucking face”.
  • Tailored onsite scenarios.
  • Practical solutions to incorporating international guidelines for first aid.
  • Dramatic demonstrations of various conditions such as cardiac arrest, heart attack (male and female), seizure, stroke and more…
  • Situational Awareness and Patient Assessment should go hand-n-hand.  Consider what happens when they don’t (see 1/2 video below)
  • Consider this alternative when assessing someone for possible CPR (see 2/2 video below)

 

More than 4 million people suffer non-fatal injury or illness each year in the workplace. In the United States about one third of all injuries and one fifth of all injury deaths happen at home.  This is why staying skilled in first aid is so important.

Course

All First Aid related courses meet or exceed State (WA State Labor & Industry) and Federal (OSHA) requirements. In this course you will learn basic first aid to the level and depth your organization wants to take it. Training curriculum options are available in American Safety & Health (ASHI),  American Heart Association (AHA), EMS Safety or Medic First Aid.

Hazardous Communication (AKA: Global Harmonization System or GHS)

Summary

Paracelsus – the Father of Toxicology – is credited as saying, “All things are poison and nothing is without poison; only the dose makes a thing not a poison.”

 

The Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) is now aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).   The “Right to Know” is now, the “Right to Understand”.

 

These updates/changes are designed to provide a clear and universal approach to identifying and classifying Hazardous Chemicals within any organization. Having a basic understanding of any chemical a company has at its work site is essential for having proper safety at that work site.

Course

This course will start with a clear understanding of how and why Hazardous Communications changed to Global Harmonized System (GHS). Guidelines from WAC 296-800-170 and 296-901 will be referenced.  In addition:

  • Companies must have a written HAZCOM Plan.
  • It includes list of chemicals youhave in your workplace.
  • Collect an SDS (MSDS if SDS is not available) for each of the chemicals and have available for employees.
  • Train your employees on how to read an SDS and Hazard Label.Provide proper PPE for the chemicals your employees use.
  • Routes of chemical entry into the body.
  • General look at how chemicals affect the body.
  • GHS universal pictograms

Healthcare Professional (HCP) CPR/AED (in class or blended learning – see below for more details)

 

“I can’t describe it. Your heart!!!!!!! Your enthusiasm, your frankness, your experience, your didactics, your precision, how much you care. I’m amazed!”

(Student, Bastyr University, Bothell, WA)

Summary

As Healthcare providers you recognize you have not only a desire, but a duty to act when on the job and an ill or injured person is present.  But still consider…

Why learn (or relearn) CPR?

Cardiac arrest is the leading killer in the nation for both male and female adults. A cardiac event is happening every 39 seconds!

Though sudden cardiac arrest is most common, someone can also die from secondary cardiac arrest.  Both sudden cardiac arrest and secondary cardiac arrest can happen to persons of any age.

Does quality matter with CPR?

There is value to all life and so any attempt when offering care on an ill or injured person is to be commended.  However, as a Healthcare Professional, it is very important to remember that High Quality CPR or High Performance CPR really can make a significant difference with the outcome.

But also remember that Situational Awareness and Patient Assessment should go hand-n-hand.  Consider what happens if they don’t. (see 1/2 video below)

Consider this alternative when assessing   someone for possible CPR. (see 2/2 video below)

While learning the latest international guidelines, Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. will also provide practical and relevant steps for remembering your skills.

Course

All First Aid related courses meet or exceed State (WA State Labor & Industry) and Federal (OSHA) requirements. In this course you will learn HCP level care in Adult/Child/Infant CPR, AED, when/how/if to use Rescue Breaths, Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) use, Choking, and Recovery Position.

Two options to choose from:

Hearing Loss Prevention

Summary

Hearing loss is truly an injury that silently robs people of their hearing. And it so often can/is preventable. Unlike other injuries, hearing loss is not visible to the worker, thereby making it harder to detect when someone is injured. Yet, it remains a serious health issue in both the home and in the workplace. And because hearing loss is often very gradual, it frequently goes undetected until it is too late and permanent damage has been done. According to WA State Labor & Industries; “Prevention begins with identifying noise sources and evaluating workers’ exposures to find out if noise exposure is hazardous. When a hazard is found, employers are required to make changes to reduce or eliminate the noise hazard and educate the workforce about noise and hearing conservation. If the noise problem persists, further testing and protective measures are required.”

 

Training will include:

  • Anatomy of the ear
  • When is noise too loud?
  • Examples at work
  • Examples at home
  • Explanation of, “What do hearing loss and grass have in common”?
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
  • Shawn’s safety tips

Pediatric Care (First Aid & CPR)

Summary

More than 9 million children are seen in the emergency room for injuries each year. For children age 1-9, unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death in the U.S.  On average, 33 children die every day from traumatic injuries in the U.S.

 

When dealing with pediatrics (child or infant), it is important to know the differences in CPR and first aid care for them. Pediatric Care (First Aid & CPR) will give you the understanding and tools to properly equip you for  dealing with illness or injury involving a child or infant.  And though proper training is vital, let us not overlook the importance of this saying, “an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure”

Course

All First Aid related courses meet or exceed State (WA State Labor & Industry) and Federal (OSHA) requirements. In this course you will learn Child/Infant/Adult CPR, AED, When/how/if to use Rescue Breaths, Choking, and Recovery Position.

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines first aid as “emergency care provided for injury or sudden illness before professional medical treatment becomes available.” Any recognized curriculum will train you to OSHA’s definition. But consider what Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. can add…

  • Clear understanding of how the body responds during an emergency.
  • The answer to the question, “why S.T.O.P. before go”?
  • Discover the value of comfort-care as legitimate first aid.
  • Consider the benefit of rescue breathing for someone without “sucking face”.
  • Tailored onsite scenarios. Practical solutions to incorporating international guidelines for first aid.
  • Dramatic demonstrations of various conditions such as cardiac arrest, heart attack (both male and female), seizure, stroke and more…

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Summary

“Safety First” is an often used phrase at many work sites. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential piece of safe work practices for many workers. But do we want the worker to simply think, “my PPE is all I need to keep safe and uninjured, right”?  As safety professionals, we know there is so much more that needs to be understood and shared with all who use PPE.  Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. will make connections for your employees.

Course

All safety related courses meet or exceed state and federal requirements.  Attention will be given to:

  • A review of OSHA’s five steps to risk assessment
  • The hierarchy of controls
  • Addressing the myths of PPE
  • Discussing where PPE are on the hierarchy of control
  • Covering the four types of PPE
  • Situational awareness and your PPE
  • Proper demonstration of dawning and doffing of PPE, and more.

 

Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. often dynamically combines classes for organizations so employees can see the connection PPE has with other experiences they will  encounter at work – PPE and Heat-related Injury, or PPE and Hazardous Communication are just two examples of combined training,  but the possibilities are endless – So contact Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. today for more details.  Click here.

*** It is important to realize that there is a difference between Standard CPR/Basic First Aid and Healthcare Provider (HCP) CPR/Basic First Aid.  Some HCP (eg DDS, MD, RN, DC, etc) are required to have a HCP BLS cpr/aed certification.  That training involves added skill demonstration with a Bag-Mask-Device, emergency oxygen, Team-dynamics to cpr/aed, etc.  In addition, all BLS students must take and pass a written exam along with demonstrating proficiency in skills to maintain their certification.  If that applies to you, please following the link provided to see your options for certifying (re-certifying) as a HCP https://shawnritchey.com/educator/#healthcare-professional

***If you are a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Occupational Therapist (OT), Physical Therapist (PT) or some other practitioner in heath care, typically remaining certified in Standard CPR/AED/ Basic First Aid is sufficient.

Proper Presentation Pressure

The value of checking for misguided attitudes or actions when speaking.

Summary

Tires can become over-inflated or under-inflated often resulting in a negative or unsafe outcome. Likewise, I believe our presentations can become over-inflated or under-inflated often resulting in a negative or unfruitful outcome.

As an Educator and Storyteller, I yearn to communicate clearly with the hope of equipping or inspiring others. But I am keenly aware of what George Bernard Shaw said,

“The problem with communicating is the illusion that it has been accomplished”.

So, my commitment before I speak is to check the pressure of my message. Presentations can become over-inflated usually because of misguided attitudes on the part of the Speaker. Or the presentation can become under-inflated as a result of misguided actions by the Speaker. Either way, the impact of the message is diluted or derailed and the audience can be left feeling disappointed or distracted or both.

Examples of over-inflating our message (misguided attitudes) can include:

Summary

 

 

 

Maintaining life, breath, or “buying time” for an ill or injured person in the back country can have many difficult challenges. Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. considers the importance of three words that become a recurring theme during this training.  Those words are: exposure, fear, and hydration.  And that theme is dealt with for both the rescuer as well as the patient!

 

Shawn Ritchey L.I.V.E. will equip you through dynamic, practical and relevant training.

Consider the following questions and thoughts:

  • S.T.O.P. before you Go!  The critical first step in emergency care
  • How considering S.A.M. can help assess either men or women!
  • Why is it a good idea to keep the “good side up”?
  • Is comfort care first aid?
  • What do quality CPR and quality Wound-care have in common?
  • Why is understanding breathing key to successfully stabilizing any musculoskeletal injury?
  • What’s important to consider when caring for someone over hours/days verses minutes?
  • And so much more…
