Active Shooter in the Workplace Training
The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, ensuring participants are well-prepared for potential active shooter scenarios.
Active Shooter in the Workplace Training
An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Typically, the immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims. Because active shooter situations are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation.
This course provides comprehensive training on active shooter preparedness, focusing on awareness, prevention, and response strategies. It equips participants with the knowledge and skills to identify potential threats, react effectively during an incident, and cooperate with law enforcement. Designed for employees and management of medium-sized companies with over 500 staff, the course is particularly useful for security teams, HR personnel, and individuals responsible for emergency preparedness.
Course Features:
- Risk Identification and Prevention: Understanding behavioral indicators and environmental assessments to identify potential threats.
- Response Strategies: Training on immediate actions during an active shooter event, including escape, hide, and fight strategies.

Why On-site Training?
In the critical moment of accountability, when facing an OSHA inspector after an incident, how do you want to define your company’s commitment to safety? Would you prefer to admit to just meeting basic requirements through online videos, or proudly affirm that your company went above and beyond by investing in on-site, OSHA-certified trainers? Choose the path that not only enhances safety but also demonstrates your unwavering dedication to your employees’ well-being and compliance with the highest standards.
Hands-On Experience
On-site training allows for practical, hands-on learning experiences. This is particularly important for safety training, where physical demonstration and practice of safety procedures can be crucial.
Immediate Feedback and Interaction
Real instructors can provide immediate feedback and clarification. This interactive environment can enhance understanding and retention of safety protocols.
Customization to Specific Worksite Needs:
On-site trainers can tailor the training to the specific hazards and safety requirements of the workplace. This ensures that the training is directly relevant and applicable to the employees’ daily tasks.
Building a Safety Culture
Having an instructor physically present emphasizes the importance of safety in the workplace. It can help in fostering a culture of safety among the employees.
Enhanced Engagement
Physical presence of an instructor can lead to higher levels of engagement and participation. Employees are more likely to ask questions and interact in a live setting.
Observation of Workplace Practices
Instructors can observe the current practices and behaviors in the workplace, providing specific, contextual advice and adjustments to improve safety.
Team Building
On-site training can also serve as a team-building exercise, strengthening the teamwork skills necessary for effective safety practices.
Compliance with Specific OSHA Requirements
Certain OSHA training requirements may be more effectively met through on-site training, especially where practical demonstrations are required.
Reducing Miscommunication
Face-to-face training reduces the risk of miscommunication which can occur in online formats, ensuring clearer understanding of safety procedures.
Adaptability and Flexibility
On-site trainers can adapt their teaching style and content on the fly, based on the response and needs of the attendees.
Immediate Resolution of Queries
Any doubts or queries can be immediately addressed and resolved by the instructor, which is not always possible in online formats.
Networking and Sharing Experiences
Employees can share their experiences and learn from each other’s safety practices and incidents, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
Ensuring Engagement and Attendance
Physical presence in a training session ensures that employees are actually participating and attentive, as opposed to online training where engagement can be harder to monitor.
Motivation and Morale:
The investment in on-site training can boost employee morale, showing that the company values their safety and well-being.
Addressing Language and Literacy Barriers
On-site training can be more effectively modified to address language and literacy barriers among workers, ensuring that all employees receive the training they need.
