Workplace/Office Safety Against Intruder or Active Shooter.
Workplace/Office safety against intruder or active shooter has two
components.
Physical Security.
That is very similar to your home and bedroom security and primarily
consists of making your office into a panic-room-like place by securing
your office doors and windows.
The most important aspect is securing entry door(s) as well as individual
office doors.
Risk Assessment and Prevention.
Traditionally, workplace violence is often viewed as mainly the issue of
robbery prevention, primarily within cash-based and extended-hours
businesses.
However, as more people are unfortunately becoming more mentally unstable
and vulnerable to extreme mental breakdowns (with unknown consequences),
it becomes very prudent to design a plan that addresses additional risk
factors and that apply to literally all businesses:
- Vindictive and mentally unstable employees.
- Vindictive and mentally unstable customers.
- Angry relatives/exes of employees.
Besides safety, addressing these issues proactively will also improve your
employees morale, improve employee productivity, decrease incidents of
harassment, theft, and lawsuits.
