GMVHRA - 2015-12-09 - "Understanding Workplace Violence"

Wednesday, December 9, 2015:

Pre-Approved for 1.25 general HRCI & SHRM re-certification credits.

TOPIC: "Understanding Workplace Violence"

This course is a base level course designed for corporations, schools, universities and healthcare facilities and provides for a foundation that is designed to take participants to the next level in Active Shooter/Workplace Violence training, skills and protection. The keys to survival in a sudden and traumatic incident that may require a split second life-or-death decision are a proper mindset based in preparation, managing fear, controlling your heart rate, and understanding exactly not only what happens to you in such a situation, but as importantly, what happens to your adversary. With a high level of understanding comes opportunity. You must understand your capabilities in advance! This course will bring you this critical level of understanding of these types of incidents and fill your toolbox with options and skills that will raise your level of performance through tactics and fear management.

Ultimately the most successful way to stay safe is to avoid the confrontation or incident completely. Recognizing the signs of a potentially dangerous person is one of the most critical tools that you can possess. Assessing a potential threat and reacting appropriately to it is something that must be driven by your organizations policy. This course covers threat assessments, recognizing signs of violence, appropriately dealing with a potential threat, forming threat assessment teams, and more.

Additional areas of discussion include OSHA’s General Duty Clause and Directive for Investigating Workplace Violence and recent fines levied by OSHA for companies failing to comply with standards.

The end result of this course will also provide all attendees with a base "mindset" and thought process that will keep them safe while they are away from work/school as much as it does while they are at work/school. It is a true employee benefit!

​OSHA and Workplace Violence; What is an Active Shooter; Lockdown vs. Evacuation; The Dynamics of an Incident; Fear - Is it Good or Bad; Hallways/Classrooms/Offices/Gathering Areas; The Office is the High Ground; Running Towards vs Away From Your Adversary; Creating Resistance; Weapons of Opportunity; Planned Weapons; Understanding Rooms/Hallways/Entryways; OODA Loop; The Mind of the Adversary; Natural Weapons - Intuition, Instinct, Will, Fear; Threat Assessments; Intelligence Gathering; Understanding Your Adversary and How This Creates Opportunities for You to Win.
