What to consider when choosing the most effective active shooter response training
- Protect employees: Training equips employees with the knowledge and skills they need to recognize potential threats, respond appropriately, and protect themselves and others in a dangerous situation.
- Reduce the risk of injury: Active shooter training can help to minimize the potential for injury or death by empowering employees to react quickly and effectively.
- Create a sense of preparedness: Training helps to create a sense of preparedness and confidence among employees, which can help to reduce fear and anxiety in the event of a real emergency.
- Empower employees: Training provides employees with the information and skills they need to act quickly and confidently in the event of a real-life active shooter situation.
- Strengthen your organization's emergency plan: Active shooter training helps to integrate into and strengthen your existing emergency plan, providing employees with clear guidance and procedures.
- Build a culture of safety: Training reinforces a culture of safety and preparedness within your workplace.
- Run: If possible, evacuate the area quickly and safely.
- Hide: If evacuation isn't possible, find a safe place to hide and lock or barricade the door.
- Fight: As a last resort, if you are unable to run or hide, fight back against the attacker to defend yourself and others.
- Choose a safe location: Select a place that is difficult to access and offers some protection.
- Lock or barricade the door: Use any available means to secure the space.
- Turn off the lights: Minimize your visibility.
- Stay silent: Avoid making noise that could attract the attacker.
- Follow their instructions: Law enforcement officers will likely be armed and moving quickly. It's essential to follow their commands and to stay calm.
- Keep your hands visible: Avoid sudden movements that could be misinterpreted.
- Identify yourself: Let officers know that you are a member of the organization and that you are not a threat.
- Provide information: If possible, provide officers with information about the shooter's location, their appearance, or any other relevant details.
- OSHA's General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act) requires employers to provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious harm.
- This clause has been interpreted to mean that employers should take steps to prepare for and address workplace violence, which can include active shooter situations.
- State and Industry-Specific Requirements:
- Some states or industries (e.g., healthcare, education, and government facilities) may have specific mandates or recommendations for workplace violence prevention and active shooter training.
- Voluntary Best Practices:
- Many organizations implement active shooter response training based on guidance from FEMA, OSHA, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which recommend preparedness plans and training to ensure employee safety.
Employers are encouraged to provide active shooter response training as part of their workplace violence prevention programs to improve preparedness and compliance with safety obligations under OSHA's General Duty Clause.
