Instructions

Before the huddle, print out some copies of the Injury Trends handout that best applies to your organization.

From the information provided on the handout, develop several trivia questions such as “what is the most common way staff in our line of work are injured?” You can use these to run a short game during the huddle. Consider getting some small prizes (e.g. candy or dollar store items) that you can hand out when staff provide correct answers.

During the huddle, give a handout to each staff member and explain the game. Once you have finished the game, use the guiding questions to facilitate a discussion to summarize and apply their learning.

Handouts available at: www.safecarebc.ca/injurytrends
