Overview:

This valuable program teaches potentially life-saving skills and helps keep your human resource team safer on the job. Employees gain verbal and physical skills to protect themselves and others from harm while gaining personal confidence and reducing stress levels.

OSHA recommends training be provided to help employees with effective workplace violence prevention and response measures. This session will demonstrate workplace violence training for frontline HR practitioners. Attendees will be able to explain and/or demonstrate:

• The 4 Types of Workplace Violence and associated risk factors
• How to recognize and avoid dangerous persons and situations
• De-escalation of agitated individuals
• Effective actions to take if threatened or confronted by workplace violence (Includes Active Shooter situations)
• After incident reporting and care

Participants will be taught to use the "Violence Triangle" model which simplifies understanding and responding to violence.. For years fire safety instructors have used the "Fire Triangle" to illustrate a simple, but important concept; for combustion to occur there must be three components, heat, oxygen and fuel. Remove any one and there’s no fire. That’s all the fire science theory most people will ever need.

The Violence Triangle illustrates the three sides of the triangle with Opportunity, Ability, and Intent. This simplifies the decision-making process, saving time and allowing better decision-making. To be safe from violence just eliminate one element, using the strategies, tactics, and techniques provided in this training.
