About This Training:
This program will discuss considerations to develop a Survival Plan if one is ever in an active assailant shooter incident.
The analysis of active shooter incidents at malls, manufacturing facilities, healthcare, offices, houses of worship, colleges, schools and public settings have suggested preventive strategies to increase employee survival. This training will focus on helping employees to prepare for, train to survive, and understand “choices” to consider in active shooter / assailant incidents.
The training will discuss best practices of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines of Run, Hide, Fight and the American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS) standard describing additional strategies for employee self-protection and survival choices .
Videos of actual shooting events, and individual survival responses by people during shooting incidents, will be shown to demonstrate key survival choices.
