If you see something, say something

Active shooters may be current or former workers, family or friends of coworkers, or complete strangers. While it is difficult to foresee a person’s actions, sometimes there are behaviors that can signal caution. Be observant of characteristics that a person may be planning a shooting incident. Report any of the following observations or behaviors that make you feel uneasy to your supervisor, management, and/or Human Resources:

Increased use of alcohol, drugs, and absenteeism.
Decreased hygiene and appearance.
Depression and/or social withdrawal.
Disregard for work quality or company policy.
Mood swings and overly emotional responses.
Paranoid, suicidal, or doomsday behavior or discussions.
Increased discussion of violent incidents and weapons/firearms.

Active shooter situations can be random, with rapid and unpredictable events unfolding. Thinking about and practicing the proper response now can boost your chance of survival through the event and in the aftermath.

TRAINING EMPLOYEES ON WORKPLACE VIOLENCE

In the United States, OSHA has made recommendations for businesses when it comes to active shooting and the workplace. Their guidelines within certain organizations also extend to building securities and facilities structures, as well as properly implemented active shooter preparation training. Lawmakers have also held organizations accountable for not having appropriate training or other protocols in place, citing OSHA's general duty clause. In 2017, the Department of Labor published the new "Enforcement Procedures and Scheduling for Occupational Exposure to Workplace Violence" which provides policy guidance and procedures to be followed when issuing citations related to workplace violence.

Given these changes, active shooter response training is quickly becoming a standard across America. Current active shooter training methods range from books to videos to multi-day on-site courses, but not all fall under OSHA's guidelines or judges approvals.
