The first portion of the training is called Active Shooter Survival: What is Your Plan?

The analysis of active shooter incidents at malls, schools, manufacturing facilities, healthcare facilities and other public settings have suggested preventative strategies to increase employee survival.  This training will focus on helping employees develop strategies to prepare for, react to and survive active shooter and workplace violence incidents.  This training will suggest individual response choices employees may consider during active assailant events based on best practices and The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Guidelines of Run, Hide, Fight.  Tactical employee self-protection and survival choices will be suggested through analysis of videos of actual active shooter incidents.

The second portion of the training is called Victim Avoidance and Personal Safety in the Field/Home Settings.

The lone worker is one who is in their own community, home, or isolated setting where they cannot be seen or heard by another person.  They may go into the community for job-related work and they do not always have a direct contact with a coworker or supervisor.  These types of workers can include: Hybrid / work from home workers, healthcare, social workers, public health nurses, aid workers, ministers, utility workers, real estate agents, travelling personnel, and gas station attendants.

This portion of the program will cover: Risks of victimization in field settings, situational awareness / victim avoidance, developing a survival mentality, choosing your personal safety strategy, exit strategies in at-risk field situations, and organization and law enforcement resources.
