SUMMARY:Workplace Violence
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, workplace violence incidents are affecting organizations and their employees.  Provinces and States are requiring employers to draft and implement workplace violence programs.  ESI is pleased to offer the Workplace Violence Training and Workshop\, designed to assist management and staff to deal with these challenges. \nCourse Overview:  \nThe ESI Workplace Violence Training and Workshop with tabletop exercise provides crucial insights and practical skills to effectively prepare for\, predict\, respond to\, and manage these complex and traumatic scenarios.  Through a blend of theoretical presentation and customized tabletop exercise scenarios\, participants will discuss how to assess threats\, make informed decisions under pressure\, and implement strategic responses to mitigate harm and protect lives.  Covering topics such as prevention of an incident\, de-escalation procedures\, evacuation protocols\, necessary actions\, crisis communication\, and post-incident support\, the course equips individuals with the knowledge and confidence to enhance their situational awareness and readiness.  This course empowers participants by helping them to create a safer work environment and develop critical skills to appropriately respond if presented with an unthinkable challenge. \nDuring an incident\, interoperability with First Responders is critical.  By delving into real-world simulations\, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play during such incidents and how to work collaboratively with law enforcement and emergency services.  The integration of the Incident Command System (ICS) presents a common language and principles when working with response agencies and is introduced to participants in this course. \nBeyond the response phase\, the Workplace Violence course provides program leaders with ideas to create a sustainable “program” which ties into a CSA/NFPA compliant Emergency Management Program.  The Workplace Violence Training & Workshop provides a foundation for organizational leaders charged with building and validating Province or State-required workplace violence programs. \nCourse Topics: \n\nOverview of workplace violence\nThe evolution of the active shooter\nPrevention of workplace violence\nCrime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)\nHow to identify a threat\nIntegration of the Incident Command System (ICS)\nRecognizing the escalation to violence\nCrisis Communication\nDe-escalation techniques\nInteroperability with Policing Agencies\nProtection: Preparedness and Control\nEmergency Operations Center (if applicable)\nResponse procedures\nProgram documentation considerations\n\n  \nTarget Audience is staff and program managers from: \n\nPublic-facing operations\nIndustry\nOffice complexes/High-rise buildings\nCritical infrastructure\nPlaces of Assembly\nMass Gatherings\n\n  \nDuration:  3-5 hours \n  \nPrerequisites:  There is no pre-requisite for this course\, however\, Incident Command System for Executives (I-402) or Introduction to ICS (I-100) is recommended.
