Learn the Risk

Wondering about adding active shooter training to your company’s training activities?

Don’t think it’s necessary?

A common misconception is that “an active shooter event won’t happen to me or my workplace.” Thoughts like these significantly reduce your chances of surviving an active shooter event because they often lead to being unprepared. The real measure of risk is not simply the probability of an event, but a combination of probability, vulnerability, and consequences.

• Although the chances of something happening to you or at your workplace is relatively low, the FBI is warning of an upward trend. 
• How vulnerable are you? If you work in a retail store, school, or house of worship, or anywhere else that is open to the public, you are vulnerable. Active shooters target less secure places with large numbers of people. 
• What are the consequences? The consequences of violent events like these are usually grave. There are lives lost, people are traumatized, companies can close, and an organization's reputation can be on the line -- not to mention the crippling financial liabilities that often follow. If an active shooter event happens at your workplace and you didn’t prepare, you could be held at fault. Don’t take that risk.

Recognize the Behavioral Signs

 Are you monitoring your employee’s behaviors?

Looking at the right signs?

Violent behavior is usually triggered by stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues. With enough of these triggers, almost anyone could become unstable. There are usually noticeable changes in behavior, though. 

Extroverted people become more introverted, more hostile, and may stop showing up for work. Introverted people may actually become more social and talkative, another change in behavior to be aware of. If you notice dramatic behavioral changes, it may be a sign that a person needs assistance and you should report this to a supervisor, a member of HR, or security, depending on your organization’s policy.

Training for these events is essential and it’s the company’s responsibility to keep everyone safe (the OSHA General Duty Clause requires it). Preparedness training is for just that; preparedness. It’s not meant to scare or make anyone feel targeted. When you purchase training courses though TPOP, you can add personal video introductions to reassure your employees they are safe and will be even safer after the training.
