Illustrative scenarios
Three composite scenarios drawn from real hospitality-safety practice and post-incident debriefs. They show the kinds of outcomes the modules are built to produce.
A guest collapses by the pool. The receptionist uses the on-site AED, starts CPR within 60 seconds, EMS arrives in 12 minutes. Guest survives.
What changes the outcome: a quarterly SOS Safe drill 3 months prior — staff executed without hesitation.
A guest returns from a tour confused, with hot dry skin. Trained staff recognise heat stroke — not heat exhaustion — apply aggressive cooling, call EMS. Guest recovers.
The wrong response — giving fluids to a confused patient — could have caused aspiration. Training changed the response in seconds.
A guide carries a satellite messenger after Elite training. Participant falls on a trail with no mobile coverage; GPS coordinates go to rescue services with one button. Helicopter evac in 90 minutes vs 4-6 hours via regular channels.
The equipment recommendation came from the Resource Hub.
Composite scenarios — protocols, equipment, and outcomes reflect real hospitality safety practice, but the specific properties and quotes are illustrative until named partners give consent for case studies. We'll publish those here as they become available.
