Workplace Violence Prevention
In recent years, workplace violence has come under closer scrutiny from the media and regulatory agencies. OSHA recommends that a formal workplace violence prevention program—backed by leadership, educating employees, and defining clear threat management processes—is the best way to prevent incidents.
Many workplace violence situations follow identifiable patterns of pre-attack behaviors, during which perpetrators often exhibit “leakage” signs indicating potential violence. Recognizing these signs allows for early intervention to de-escalate the situation.
Our Situational Threat Awareness Assessment & Action Training (STAAAT) program equips employees to identify and evaluate signs of impending violence, enabling them to alert the appropriate personnel before a situation escalates to active shooter incidents.
At COSECURE, our consultants are nationally recognized experts in workplace violence prevention. Drew Neckar has extensive experience in developing workplace violence programs and is a graduate of the Gavin de Becker & Associates Threat Assessment Training Academy. We are well-positioned to assess your current prevention program and help design and implement a strategy tailored to your organization’s unique needs.
Perpetrators rarely engage in extreme workplace violence without progressing through several stages of pre-attack behaviors. Their “leakage” of intent during these stages offers the opportunity for intervention and de-escalation.
