Employer Considerations

While Life Safety events occurring in the workplace are rare:

It is 18 times more likely that your company will experience an active shooter in the workplace than a fire

If you have plans and train for one, why not the other?

Active Shooter Preparedness - Employee Training

Introduce this as part of your existing life safety program:

  • Fire/Evacuation

  • Active Shooter

You are just adding another layer to the procedures for worst case scenarios that employees are already familiar with

Responding to an Active Shooter

Run, Hide, Fight

  • Run – Leaving the building is your first goal
  • Hide – If leaving is not an option, hide. This is not a

permanent decision. Always look for a safe opportunity to leave the building

  • Fight – If your life is immediately in danger

Public Address System: Plain Language

  • If your employees only train once a year they won’t

remember what “Elvis has left the building means”

  • New employees and visitors don’t know your code words
