Description
Gain the tools needed to prepare for a potential threat, evaluate the risk of a violent attack, and intervene in the most effective manner.
In addition to the traditional health and safety hazards on the job, millions of workers also experience the threat of violence in the workplace every year, ranging from physical assault to homicide. In 2020 alone, assaults resulted in 20,050 injuries and 392 fatalities. A key area of concern is active shooter events, an incident where an individual(s) is actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically using firearms.
This presentation will provide participants with a proven strategy for developing and implementing an effective and comprehensive workplace violence program with a focus on active shooter events. Mr. Foulke will demonstrate that making the right preparations ahead of time will eliminate active shooter incidents or significantly reduce their impact.
