What’s a Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit?

Active Shooter 360 recently taught a 3D Workplace Prevention Workshop sponsored by the Emerald Coast Healthcare Coalition (NW Florida).  We are now finalizing the development of a 3D Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit to complement our workshops.

What’s a toolkit? It’s a combination of templates, worksheets, action guides, and checklists for implementing and maintaining a Workplace Violence Prevention program. In addition, the kit contains a Troubleshooting Playbook for addressing no-notice crisis events that are rapidly unfolding.

The Start tools are similar to an introduction; you have a template that shows where to begin. 

The Setup tools address the framework of your workplace violence prevention (WVP) program. These tools include:

            Planning Team

            WVP Plan

            Threat Assessment Team

            Threat Assessment Protocols

Action tools are a series of action-oriented procedures, such as problem identification and assessment, inquiry, risk groups, interviews, re-assessment, and follow-up.

The Troubleshooting Playbook is a quick access response guide for addressing low, medium, high, and imminent risk events.

Key Takeaway:

Workplace violence is escalating in almost every facet of American work life. The AS360 Workplace Violence Workshops and Toolkits will provide you with an effective framework for establishing and maintaining your workplace violence program. Our next several blogs will expand on the key elements in the toolkit. Stick with us.
