I’ve trained to respond to active shooters at other businesses. Nothing mandatory with regards to our building but the principles are the same.
No such training offered at my workplace. In an active shooter situation, I fully expect to be deployed as a human shield.
My job does not offer/require it. I’m in the USA.
I’m in Canada. No training or drills for active shooter. We did recently put locks on the doors into our area from the elevator landing. Before that, the doors were kept open except at lunch hour.
We do have a script in case someone calls us with a bomb threat. I read it when it first came out a few years ago.
Fire drills once or twice a year. We gather at the muster point down the street and then go for coffee at Tims.
Sort of.
I’m a US federal employee, we have an security refresher course that we are forced to take every year. Most of it is about computer security but they added a section about emergency preparedness that includes a few slides on active shooters. Otherwise no.
It’s an annual requirement.
Along with workplace harassment, how to spot phishing emails/social engineering attacks, and 4 or 5 others.
I just wait for them to pop up on my calendar and let them run in the background while I do actual work.
I work in a secure facility that’s part of a large university. We have active shooter training every year that’s recommend, but not required.
I go voluntarily.
We had an active shooter on the main campus once. That was enough.
Did the training lead to a bump in pay? My son works in a prison, and every weapon/technique he trains and qualifies for leads to a small pay bump.
I work night audit at a hotel, so no.
We do have a script we’re supposed to follow in case of a bomb threat but since my plan is me calling 911 from off property I ignore it.
Navy Shipyard, active shooter training complete online each year.
I work at a pretty big hospital. It’s a small part of our annual safety training, which is divided into fire safety, emergency preparedness, and hazard communication. The emergency preparedness section has a security emergency subsection – the plurality of that talks about missing persons, but active shooters, suspicious packages, hostages, and bomb threats each get a slide.
Since we don’t have to take the training as long as we can pass the test each year, I voted no.
My employer just started mandatory online training for all employees this year, and it was the second training we were required to complete. (The first was “Heat Stress” and the next is “Distracted Driving.”)
