‘Code Red: Strategies for Preventing Workplace Violence’
Oct. 12: The Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast (EANE) will host a half-day training opportunity at Delaney House in Holyoke for employers who rec- ognize the need to develop a proactive plan that will protect their employees in the unfortunate instance of a violent occurrence in the workplace. EANE has partnered with PASS (Protective Advanced Safety Servies) of Agawam to facilitate the three-hour training class designed to help employers assess their current safety programs, identify the common
Agenda
behavior patterns of potentially violent individuals, and ultimately learn how to respond during an active shooting situation in a manner that reduces casual- ties. The trainers from PASS, John Nettis and Steven Grasso, have risen through the ranks of the Hamp- den County Sheriff’s Department and the Agawam Police Department and are skilled in active-shooter response and emergency preparedness. They strive to elevate workplace safety by offering role-playing scenarios, strategies, and suggestions to employers, and creating custom-tailored, effective emergency action plans. Attendees will become acquainted
with the process of conducting a physical workspace analysis, how to survey a facility and look for vulner- abilities; understand the components of an incident response plan, how to create a response to an inci- dent at a business (evacuation plans, reunification, and communication); recognize the importance of de-escalating a situation early; and increase aware- ness of mental health’s role in workplace violence. Limited seats are available, and pre-registration is
required. While these trainings are open to the public for $125 per person, individuals from EANE member organizations may register at a reduced rate. Regis- tration details are available at www.eane.org/code- red-strategies-for-preventing-workplace-violence or by calling (877) 662-6444.
