dss+ STOP® Overview
dss+ STOP® (Safety Training Observation Program) is a member of the dss+ portfolio of workplace safety training offerings. The award-winning dss+ STOP® series provides a path to workplace safety excellence by making safe behavior and workplace conditions part of the work culture, thus preventing injuries and incidents.
dss+ STOP® programs use a combination of methods to give people the information, skills and willingness to work more safely, maximize their learning and apply what they learn to the real world. The programs feature a three-part approach:
- Individual self-study. Workbooks are used to introduce basic concepts and begin safety skill development.
- Field or application activities. STOP® program participants practice what they have learned in their own work areas.
- Group meetings. After viewing a video, participants discuss what they have learned and consider how it can be applied.
