Workplace Violence Prevention:

No business or institution of any size is immune to the threat of violent attack, from within the organization, or planned outside intrusion. PREVENTION of most events is possible, with careful planning and cooperation from employees, management, and outside agencies. This presentation is designed to provide a working outline for institutions and businesses of any size.

The concept is one of emergency preparedness, and analysis of the ability to respond to an incident. Attendees will receive information about how to determine the institution's state of readiness and how current manpower levels may be adjusted to deal with an emergency. Attendees will learn how to protect life and property in the course of a planned intrusion, or the random explosive situation.

Emphasis is on prevention and life safety. This workshop is designed as an active participation, problem-solving program that takes attendees through a step by step procedure to effectively prepare to deal with the potential for violence in a practical, cost-effective manner. This program is not a lecture. Workshop leaders will discuss and demonstrate proper methods of screening employees, defusing potentially violent situations, denying access to prohibited areas, identifying potential troublemakers, protecting patrons and staff, and responding to unplanned emergencies.
