WEBINAR OVERVIEW

As employers and Americans, we are in the midst of a devastating trend. Active shooter incidents are increasing, with the greatest percentage occurring in commercial settings as reported by the FBI. Beyond these extreme incidents, the Department of Justice estimates that 1 million workers witness or are victims of violence at work each year. Given the frequency and severity of these violent incidents, we no longer can be so naïve as to think we are exempt from incidents of workplace violence. But with proper training and preparation, these risks can be minimized, and lives can be saved.

Under the General Duty Clause of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970, employers must maintain a safe work environment free from recognized hazards likely to cause serious harm—even if no standard or regulation applies. That means under the OSH Act’s general duty clause, in the event of an active shooter or other incident of workplace violence, what a business does before, during, and after an attack may be subject to substantial scrutiny.

While no one can predict and stop every violent attack, there are certain critical steps every employee can take to minimize risks in this type of unthinkable emergency.

Join us for this FREE 60 minute on-demand webinar where active shooter incident readiness training (ASIRT) expert and Workplace Violence Prevention Symposium speaker, Hector Sanchez, will share critical insights into what to do before, during, and after an active shooter situation. Learn how to train employees to identify red flags and alarming behavior to prevent workplace violence in all forms.
