HBIH 9648 – Emergency Preparedness

Overview

Emergencies happen every day, jeopardizing lives, property, and dollars. If an emergencies happens in your workplace, will you know how to respond appropriately?

While there is no guarantee for a perfect response to every emergency, this training helps you clarify and understand your role if an emergency occurs on the job. Training addresses disasters such as natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and storms; as well as accidental disasters such as fires, medical emergencies, and spilled chemicals.

Twenty interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly. All questions in this training are fully narrated. Narrations enhance comprehension and are welcome support for learners with reading skill deficits and when English is the learner's second language.

Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage courses, provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory.

The Learner navigates through the course and its resources using the standard Mastery Control Bar. Training resources include a fully narrated glossary of terms. Each term is pronounced and its definition read aloud to the learner. A topical index provides a complete map to the training material. The learner can ask for all course information on any topic at any time during the lesson presentations. A complete transcript of all audio and video files is also provided with this course. Use the transcript file in conjunction with MODIFY to simplify customizations.

Closed Captioning is included.
