AlliedBarton Security Services and HR Plus Present a Free Workplace Violence Prevention Seminar
(firmenpresse) - ARLINGTON, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/14/11 -- AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, and HR Plus, a leading provider of comprehensive solutions for employment and background screening, will host a free workplace violence prevention seminar focusing on surviving an active shooter situation on Monday, November 21, 2011, at FDIC, 3501 Fairfax Drive in Arlington, VA. Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m. with the seminar following until 12:30 p.m.
"Unfortunately, the pervasiveness of violence and the proliferation of firearms has brought workplace violence to the forefront throughout the security profession," said Vincent O'Neill, chief of HQ security operations for the International Monetary Fund. "Training to identify potential or incipient workplace violence issues, and having a comprehensive response that includes a wide range of organizational disciplines, has become an essential element to every security program."
"A workplace violence situation can take place in a matter of minutes and finish before the local law enforcement even has time to arrive on scene," said Brent O'Bryan, Vice President of Learning & Development, AlliedBarton and a member of the Arlington/Alexandria Workforce Investment Board in VA. "Because these situations can escalate quickly, there often isn't time to properly prepare for what you should do next. It is important to be proactive and consider, in advance of a workplace violence scenario, the common reactions and how to keep yourself and others safe."
"It is imperative for all employees to understand this important workplace issue, what it is, who's affected and what you can do about it," said Daman Toth, Vice President of Operations, AlliedBarton. "AlliedBarton, in conjunction with our seminar partners, will provide resources to help attendees better understand the need for preventing violence in the workplace."
Seminar discussion and workshop topics will include incidences of workplace violence; recognizing and preventing workplace violence; how to survive an active shooter; and Captain Frantz Desamour, Arlington Police Department, will speak on what to expect when police arrive. There will also be an open panel discussion with Desamour, O'Neill, O'Bryan and Toth.
Attendees will receive a complimentary eBook preview of Bill Whitmore's new book, "Potential: Workplace Violence Prevention and Your Organizational Success" and the full eBook version when it is released later this year.
Potential, , shows how a range of stakeholders -- from CEOs and other senior leaders to building management, human resources, contract security and law enforcement -- can work together to lower an organization's workplace violence risk and enhance its overall morale and performance.
Media interested in attending this event are encouraged to RSVP to the press contact in this release.
