A look into the new Workplace Violence and Active Assailant Standard: Prevention, Intervention, Response

All organizations have a responsibility to protect employees and others by taking measures to detect threats of violence, intervene through incident management, and mitigate consequences should violence erupt. Organizations that cannot manage and prevent workplace violence may experience disrupted productivity, low morale, and a public image that communicates a disregard for employee safety.

This on demand webinar will provide an overview of the newly revised standard which now includes guidance on prevention, intervention and response to incidents involving an active assailant/active shooter.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Gain an understanding on the revisions to the 2011 standards
• Design or update your workplace violence prevention program based on the revisions
• Integrate active assailant (pre-incident response planning, incident response, and post incident recovery) into your workplace violence prevention program
