UL EHS Sustainability Recognizes National Preparedness Month with Workplace Violence Prevention SuiteViolent events in the workplace are surprisingly common, with almost two million people affected in the workplace each year. It's a real threat to individuals and to the health of your business. To help keep employees as safe as possible, UL EHS Sustainability, the industry's leading provider of workplace health, safety, and sustainability solutions, has expanded its online library of violence prevention materials and course offerings. UL EHS Sustainability's "Workplace Violence Prevention" eLearning course focuses on person-to person instances of workplace violence and provides workers with the following knowledge:
To supplement the eLearning course, UL EHS Sustainability developed a checklist and data sheet to help employees prepare for, prevent, and respond to workplace violence. These materials outline key safety factors related to training, facilities, security, and procedures in addition to more information about identifying violence and working to prevent it. An unfortunate reality is that violence in the workplace sometimes involves active shooters. UL EHS Sustainability worked in partnership with local and national law enforcement professionals, including former members of SWAT teams and the FBI, to crate the "Active Shooter: Preparation and Response" suite. This industry-leading suite provides the best current advice on keeping safe in a crisis and consists of the following modules:
The suite outlines the warning signs of a potentially violent individual, how to respond to an active shooter, and how to provide emergency assistance to victims.
