Chapter Meeting Presentation:

Concealment or Cover – An Active Shooter Awareness/Workplace Violence Training Program for Businesses

REALITY: Workplace violence incidents occur everyday. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), from 2006 to 2010, an average of 551 workers per year were killed as a result of work-related homicides. In 2010, BLS reported a total of 518 workplace homicides, or 11 percent of all fatal work injuries that occurred that year. A total of 77 of those were multiple-fatality homicide incidents in which two or more workers were killed, including 69 homicides and 8 assailant suicides, all of whom were in work status at the time of the incident.

Keeping employees safe at work is a major concern for organizations today. Nothing can guarantee that an incident won’t occur, but having an emergency action plan in place can significantly decrease the likelihood. Is your workplace prepared?

On April 11th, join us for an eye-opening presentation from experts in HR, Law Enforcement, Physical Security Consulting and Employment Law, as they share their experiences and provide insights on steps you can take to better prepare and protect your organization.

  • Learn to identify the warning signs of potential workplace violence
