Marcom's "Winter Safety" CD-ROM & Software Course shows employees how to plan ahead, identify potential hazards and avoid dangerous situations that occur during the winter holiday season. Over the years employers have discovered that their employees miss more time from work as a result of "off-the-job" accidents than due to injuries experienced on the job. Many of these accidents occur during the winter, as employees do things that they are not familiar with or haven't done "since last year". Fortunately, most of these accidents can be prevented. Areas covered in the course include

• Christmas trees (selecting, transporting and setting up),
• using "string lights",
• safe use of extension cords and outlets,
• fires, fireplaces and chimneys,
• using candles,
• fire extinguishers and fire escapes,
• dressing for cold weather,
• working in the cold,
• walking and driving in ice and snow,
• and more.

Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this course from the Interactive CD-ROM Training Library provides the most cost-effective training available today. The course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive user's and trainer's guides. The course takes about 45 minutes to complete (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained.
