    The Importance of Security in the Workplace

    The security and safety of your employees — especially in high-stakes careers — is essential. Comprehensive workplace violence training is valuable because it can reduce compensation, insurance, liabilities, and other social security expenses paid out by the company. SAFE Environment services help lessen the operational charges that can affect your business’s budgets.

    Examples of Workplace Violence

    workplace violence

    The Federal Bureau of Investigation defines instances of workplace violence as falling into one of four separate categories:

    • Violence against supervisors, managers, or co-workers by a former or present employee
    • Violent acts by criminals — with no connection to the workplace — who enter to commit crimes
    • Violence committed in the workplace by a non-employee who has a personal relationship with an employee, such as an abusive domestic partner or spouse
    • Violence directed at employees by clients, patients, customers, students, inmates, or others for whom an organization provides services

    Active Shooter Training in the Workplace

    The most effective way to train your staff to respond to an active shooter situation is to conduct mock active shooter training exercises. Local law enforcement is an excellent resource in designing training exercises that teach:

    • Recognizing the sound of gunshots
    • Reacting quickly when gunshots are heard and when a shooting is witnessed
    • Calling 911
    • Reacting when law enforcement arrives
    • Adopting the survival mindset during times of crisis

    Silverseal runs Active Shooter Training that is tailored to your place of work and the role of your people. Our instructors are all serving or former law enforcement professionals who have a wealth of operational and instructional experience. Your employees must be aware of the risks and how their immediate actions dictate their chances of survival. Failure to implement a collective response plan could cost lives.

    Employer’s Role in Preventing Workplace Violence

    Employers have an essential role and responsibility in preventing workplace violence. The Society for Human Resource Management recommends that employers establish the following workplace security procedures and policies:

    • Identify and correct hazards
    • Respond to emergencies
    • Investigate threats, incidents, or other concerns
    • Develop a process for reporting threats, incidents, or other concerns
