Who Wants to Save a Life?
WorkplaceNL's Who Wants to Save a Life? is a travelling show targeting high school students and
empowering them, to take action, to help foster a culture of safety throughout Newfoundland and
Labrador.
Under the leadership of WorkplaceNL, game show planning and implementation has been initiated
by a partnership between WorkplaceNL and the Department of Education.
The intent of WorkplaceNL's Who Wants to Save a Life? is to inspire youth to be attentive, retain what
they have learned, and spark the spirit of competition. This concept will help foster a culture of
safety among this age group.
The Who Wants to Save a Life concept is modelled after a similar concept used by the Industrial
Accident Prevention Association (IAPA) of Ontario.
Who will play?
For the 2016/2017 season, the game show will involve 16 teams competing in the quarter final
round. The successful teams will go on to the semi-finals, with the winners of the semi-finals
facing off in the final round.
How does the game work?
For the quarter final round each team will appear on stage in front of a live audience. The game will
consist of a Lifeline Round, Speed Round, Category Round and Final Question. If a correct answer is
provided, points will be awarded. To assist teams in the Lifeline Round, two Lifelines will be
provided:
a. Team Huddle – the player in question will be given 30 seconds to discuss the question with
the whole team, including the alternate, before they select their answer.
b. Poll the Audience – the audience will be asked through a show of hands or applause to
identify the appropriate answer. The team again will be expected to answer within 30
seconds of the results from the audience.
Each Lifeline can only be used once and are only available in the Lifeline Round. If a question is
answered incorrectly no points are awarded.

The game will continue for all three rounds and then move into the final question. For the final
question, teams will be shown a category and will be allowed to wager some or all of their
accumulated points based on their knowledge of that category. Once wagers have been made,
teams will be shown the final question.
Note: The final question is the only point in the game where teams will lose their wagered points if
they answer incorrectly. At the end of the game the team with the most points will be declared the
winner.
