Safety Skill Up is an interactive, game-based safety training to help your staff brush up on critical safety knowledge in a fun, lightly competitive environment. 

You can bring this game right to your staff by placing a laptop and second monitor on a rolling cart. By playing in 10 to 15-minute increments, you can deliver training without needing backfill, supporting your safety culture, resident care, and having fun! 

This game was inspired by Danger Dodgers, a 2025 Safety Den finalist submission from Broadway Lodge.
