Huron County to host Active Shooter training

Active Shooter Survival: Preparation and Recovery

The review of Active Shooter incidents at malls, manufacturing facilities, healthcare, offices, houses of worship, colleges, schools and public settings have suggested preventive activities to increase employee and stakeholder survival. This training will focus on helping organizations to understand “best practices” and to develop strategies to prepare for, train to survive, and recover from active shooter and workplace violence incidents.

The training will discuss the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS) Guidelines of Run, Hide, Fight by suggesting individual response “choices” employees may consider during Active Assailant events.

This MIOSHA CET program is designed to:

  • encourage participants to understand types of violent threats
  • strategies to enhance their existing health and safety program’s capabilities
  • develop preparedness strategies for active intruder / shooter incidents.

Tactical employee self-protection and survival choices will be suggested through analysis of videos of active shooter incidents.
