Length
The program has a 3-5 year timeline broken into milestone goals and smaller monthly goals, including regular Safety Committee meetings, hazard recognition from various departments, employee-led safety meetings. The initial training is a two hour interactive presentation with in-depth questions and quizzes to test for comprehension and application of the material.
Workbook
Each participant receives a workbook which is designed to be a ready reference guide to effectively manage risks associated with the workplace. A risk management worksheet is completed by each participant after the initial presentation to ensure understanding of the important principles which are taught. When the completed worksheet is returned, participants are awarded a certificate of completion suitable for framing.
History
The 5 Star Program was originally developed in 1982 for the staff of the Sheraton Plaza Hotel in Palm Springs, California. It has been updated many times over the years to accommodate the dynamic nature of workplace hazards. We continually look for feedback of the participants to keep the material both relevant and engaging.

The 5 Star Risk Management Program has been especially effective for our skilled nursing facility clients. Over 50% of those facilities that use the 5 Star Risk Management Program have gone over 365 days without a loss day injury. In 2010 the National Skilled Nursing loss time injury ratio for 100 FTEs was 5.6; the average for our group was 2.08, which improved in in 2011 to 1.69!
