Unfortunately,
we have seen and heard of many active shooter events in public facilities
across our nation lately.
Some
may have wondered what are the recommended actions during an active shooter
event in the workplace.
Below
are two videos published by The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and
their recommendations on what to do during
an active shooter event.
Review
the videos in their entirety for best practices on what to do if you find
yourself in a similar situation. Feel free to discuss thoughts with your
colleagues, safety committee members and supervisors.
This
information is being shared for awareness of the DHS recommended actions.
