OSHA Approved Active Shooter Training

Active Shooter Prevention and Response Training for Long-Term Care 

Description:

An active shooter in the long-term setting is something no one wants to think about but preparation for this type of emergency is a must.  With the additional challenges for preparation and response in this environment, the Active Shooter Prevention and Response for Long-Term Care training will explore pre-incident prevention and preparation, during incident response and post incident planning and response specifically for long-term care settings. The training will provide tools and strategies from the individual employee and organizational levels.  The interactive training will include discussion of policy and procedure, situational awareness, communication of concerns, Run/Hide/Fight alone and with residents, working with law enforcement and preparedness requirements.  Engaging learning exercises and a multiple part tabletop exercise will provide opportunities to apply what they learn.

Objectives:

After the training, participants will be able to:

• Describe their role in prevention and active shooter response.
• Describe actions to take when confronted with an active shooter.
• Identify strategies for interacting with law enforcement who are responding to an active shooter.
• Describe how to manage the consequences of an active shooter event.
