Why Attend Active Shooter Awareness Training?
Attending an active shooter awareness training class is essential for employees to be prepared, stay safe, and contribute to creating a safer work environment. It's an investment in both individual and collective safety and security.
-
Safety Preparedness: In today's world, it's crucial to be prepared for unexpected and potentially dangerous situations. Active shooter incidents can happen anywhere, including workplaces. Attending such training helps employees handle an active shooter situation, increasing their chances of survival.
-
Early Identification: Active shooter awareness training teaches employees how to recognize warning signs and behaviors that might precede an active shooter incident. This early identification can lead to timely reporting and intervention, potentially preventing a tragedy.
-
Emergency Response: This includes strategies for lockdowns, evacuation routes, and how to communicate effectively with law enforcement when they arrive on the scene. Having this knowledge can save lives.
-
Reducing Panic: Knowing what to do in a crisis can reduce panic and fear among employees. When people are trained and have a plan to follow, they are more likely to stay calm and make rational decisions during a high-stress situation.
-
Legal and Liability Considerations: Some workplaces may have legal requirements or liability considerations that mandate active shooter training. Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe working environment, and this training can be part of that plan.
-
Promoting a Culture of Safety: Encouraging employees to attend such training demonstrates an organization's commitment to the safety and well-being of its staff.
-
Personal Awareness: Active shooter awareness training also raises general awareness about personal safety, which can extend beyond the workplace. Employees can apply the knowledge they gain to stay safe in various situations, not just during active shooter incidents in their workplace.
-
Multilingual Subtitles Available: We offer subtitles in other languages, including Spanish, for our live in-person events, virtual trainings, and recorded videos. Ensuring accessibility and understanding for all attendees is our priority—just let us know your needs.
