A toolkit is like a handy tool bag. The Active Shooter 360 Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit is a set of printed/electronic templates that address how to develop and manage your workplace violence prevention program. The templates contain easily accessible key items. The three Toolkit sections are Setup, Troubleshoot, and Action.
Setup is similar to a “Start” diagram. The Setup section is a guide for the initial planning and administration of your violence prevention program. An analogy is the setup chart included in the box for a new computer or TV.
Troubleshoot is a series of steps for detecting and addressing violence prevention issues. This section is like the “Troubleshooting” page in a microwave or coffee maker manual, where you skip the rest of the manual to get to problem solutions.
Action is a series of color-coded templates similar to a medical triage framework. Green is Low Risk, Yellow is Medium risk, Orange is High Risk, and Red is Imminent Risk. For example, a minor behavioral problem is framed by Green action steps. Red addresses emergency action steps for an emergent violence threat.
Key Takeaway:
The 3D Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit drills down to the core of the program and guides you through Setup, Troubleshooting, and Action. We’ll focus on each of the three Toolkit sections in Part II through IV.
