Learn to See Threats Before They Escalate

Has your company conducted a workplace security analysis? Does your company have a well-written workplace violence prevention program? Do you provide violence prevention training? Is “zero-tolerance” a code of conduct at your company? Do you know the difference between a threat and an assault? Do you know what “reasonable suspicion” is?

These are crucial questions to ask if you’re committed to ensuring the safety of your workplace—not to mention complying with OSHA rules. And law enforcement specialist Jim Zalud has the answers you seek.

According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), every worker has the right to a secure workplace, and it’s your job to provide a safe and healthy atmosphere. That’s easier said than done—especially since OSHA reports that the approximately 2 million instances of workplace violence that occur each year are just the tip of the iceberg. Many acts of assault, harassment, and intimidation go unreported.

In this session, Zalud will teach you to create a safer workplace by establishing the right policies and expertise—and by knowing what to look for. In fact, with training, you can effectively recruit your employees’ help to prevent danger to themselves and their fellow employees. Plus, you’ll learn how to properly analyze security risks and assets, as well as how to spot danger before it becomes critical. Gain the confidence you need to identify and face real-world threats of all types.
