8 Hour Initial Provider VIP Response™ Workplace Violence Prevention Training (MAB®))

 

Comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention Training, compliant with all California State SB-1299, AB-508, California Health & Safety Codes; 1257.7 and 1257.8, OSHA 8 CCR 3342, as well as all other State and Federal laws necessary in order to meet the requirements for a mandatory workplace violence prevention and management program for healthcare. Since this training is a derivative of the MAB (Management of Assaultive behavior) family, this course also meets any and all of the National MAB Standards and Practices.

This class fulfills the educational requirements for all clinical and non-clinical hospital employees, emergency personnel and general staff, having direct and non-direct contact with clients within the facility, who have not had previous Violence Prevention Training and who are required to attend, in order to acquire regulatory compliancy. And for those who simply wish to learn more about human behavior, both ours and the aggressor's, or who desire to strengthen their ability to effectively respond to difficult people, react to potentially violent situations, defend themselves against a physical attack and feel safer and more confident within their surroundings, the training presented will instill a whole new perspective on understanding how to be and become more empowered when faced with aggressive behaviors.

The education offered within this format is appropriate for such employee positions as; nurses, physicians, providers, all healthcare workers, nursing students, techs, mental health workers, CNA's, PCA's, security, hospital administration, physicians, residents, therapists, social services, admitting, reception, office assistants, volunteers, lab techs, dietary, housekeeping, engineering, recreational, occupational, respiratory and physical therapists, fire, paramedic and first responders, as well as any professional, on-staff support personnel who serve the patients and staff within a designated roll, whether directly or indirectly that would benefit from the program. Also appropriate for non-medical, general workplace employees and management who wish to learn new and safer ways to identify and respond to potential workplace violence.

(This training is required, for all employees who work, or have direct personal contact with clients or anyone else within a behavioral health setting, or an Emergency Department where the potential for aggressive or violent behavior exists, so we encourage you to consult your facility's requirements before registering.)

(Please note that anyone arriving more than 15 minutes late for class will not be able to attend the class and will need to re-schedule.)
