American Red Cross injury-control modules are a series of one-hour,
awareness-level modules on topics that can help you reduce costly
on-the-job injuries and let your employees know you care about
their health and well-being.
Each one-hour session includes a self-assessment to help employees
recognize risky habits, plus skill demonstrations and lively discussions
that reinforce practical prevention tips.

Participants learn to reduce the risk of repetitive stress injuries
by improving posture, rearranging work areas, using proper tools
and doing simple exercises.
Slips, Trips and Falls
Topics include the causes of accidents and remedies for common
hazards, plus practical advice on shoe selection, ladder safety
and injury prevention programs.
Back Injury Prevention
Beginning with back anatomy, participants assess the causes of
their back pain and learn how posture, stretching and safe lifting
skills can reduce the risk of injury.
Workplace Violence Awareness
Realistic scenarios help participants recognize and reduce the
risk of impending workplace violence and learn ways to improve
their personal safety and security.
Managing Stress
Discussions focus on the cause of stress to help individuals recognize
their stressors and develop practical stress-reduction strategies
for work and personal lives.
Your Heart Matters/Act in Time to Heart
