Workplace Violence and
Active Shooter Survival
Employee Training
**Be Prepared, Not Scared**
While the thought of Workplace Violence or an Active Shooter situation can be terrifying, being prepared can empower individuals and organizations. With the proper training, both you and your team will have the tools and confidence needed to respond effectively, potentially saving your life and others.
Why is Workplace Violence and Active Shooter Training Essential for All Organizations?
In an era where safety and security are paramount, no organization is exempt from potential threats. From corporate environments to educational institutions and places of worship, the risk of Workplace Violence or an Active Shooter situation is real and ever-present. No week goes by that there isn't another report of violence spoken about in the news.
Startling Statistics:
Over the past decade, active shooter incidents have increased significantly.
Active shooter incidents in workplaces have caused substantial casualties, affecting employees, customers, and other innocent bystanders.
Schools and universities have not been immune, with numerous high-profile incidents causing grief and trauma to communities.
Sacred spaces, such as churches and temples, which once were considered safe havens, have sadly not been spared, with several attacks recorded in recent years.
