Workplace Violence

 

Workplace violence may take the form of various types of personal assaults. These may include weapons such as knives or handguns. The only warning you might receive during such an incident is the sound of gunfire, scuffling or other employees yelling a warning.
 

Never put yourself in harms way!

If you hear GUNFIRE:

• Seek refuge immediately.

  • Choose an area that can be locked or secured from the inside if possible.

  • Select a room without windows.

  • Hide behind a desk, under a table, in a closet or bathroom.

• Remain still and quiet until you have been advised by emergency personnel that the situation is under control.

• If a phone is available in the area you are using for refuge, call 911 and report your location and the situation. If it is safe to do so, remain on the line and provide the dispatcher with as much information as possible.

Explosion/Bomb

• Evacuate the building.

• Immediately call 911
