Free Webinar: Surviving an Active Shooter Event
Deadly shooting—it's a heartbreaking phrase that's become increasingly seen in national headlines. Over the last two decades, active shooter incidents have more than quadrupled.1 As an emergency and healthcare professional, it's essential to learn how to prepare for an active shooter event in the workplace.
It's easy to view shootings as entirely disconnected from our daily lives, but the truth is most workplace violence is enacted upon healthcare professionals. In fact, according to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), approximately 75% of workplace assaults reported annually occurred in healthcare and social service settings.2 Having an active shooter emergency response plan is vital to your safety and the safety of your patients. Learn how to prepare for an active shooter in the workplace with CareerCert's online active shooter training, our active shooter response training for first responders, and our active shooter webinar.
