2017 First Friday Focus: Workplace Violence and Response

Workplace Violence and Intruder Response
Presenter: Mark Warren, Vice President and Director of Training
Strategos International
 
Should a business have a policy and trained response plan for an intruder in the workplace? Homicides in the workplace are the second leading cause of death in the workplace in America. The primary cause of death for women in the workplace is tied between motor vehicle accidents and homicides. In fact between the years of 1992-2006 there were 11,613 homicides in the workplace. In this seminar we will discuss the need for a plan, identify the prevalence of workplace violence and what a response could look like for your organization.
