TRAINING & SPEAKING

Workplace concussion training for the people who keep workers safe.

Head-injury education for the people who keep workers safe.

Sheldon Victorine, MS, ATC, CSCS, speaks and trains on recognizing and responding to a possible head injury in industrial and occupational settings. Every session is evidence-informed, practical and built around three steps: recognize, refer and document. The goal is the same one Sheldon brings to every training: work safe so you go home in one piece.

What we offer

Keynotes and presentations. For conferences, professional groups and safety meetings. Why concussion tools and norms built for sport don’t transfer cleanly to the workplace, and what that means for the people on site.

Workshops. Working sessions on recognition cues, red flags, referral pathways and documentation, so your team knows what to look for and what to do next.

On-site team education. Training at your site for safety teams, supervisors and first aiders on recognizing and responding to a possible head injury in your setting.

ICAT orientation. A walkthrough of ICAT for your safety team: the two paths, how the report works, and where ICAT’s scope ends.

All training is educational. It doesn’t teach anyone to diagnose concussion, give medical clearance or make return-to-work decisions. When in doubt, refer.
