Standards Spotlight - ACCT Chapter 2 B.2.17

A simple standard with a big impact and one that is sometimes easily missed. Keeping corridors cleared prevents accidents.

This month’s Initiative Game of the Month is Lava Crossing, a fun and challenging activity that tests teamwork, communication, and resource management. Using only foam squares to cross from start to finish, participants must plan, collaborate, and adapt on the fly — all without touching each other.

Ideal for groups of 8 or more, Lava Crossing encourages creative problem-solving, coordination, and subtle leadership skills. With just 20 minutes to complete the challenge, every decision counts — and every participant plays a vital role in the team’s success.

A personal safety system isn’t just gear.

This standard focuses on execution:

• Proper technique

• Intentional positioning

• Clear communication

• Continuous fall protection

Consistency is what makes systems effective.

This month’s Initiative Game of the Month is Key Punch, a fast-paced problem-solving challenge that puts teamwork, strategy, and communication to the test. The goal is simple: touch all the numbers or letters in sequence as quickly as possible—but only one person can be on the “keyboard” at a time, and mistakes add penalty seconds!

Key Punch encourages creative thinking, collaboration, and quick decision-making. Every attempt counts, and every team member plays an important role.
