What to do when it matters most
Traliant’s Active Shooter Response Training is a 25-minute interactive course that helps employees preemptively prepare for a potential active shooter situation in the workplace. The course uses the FBI-recommended “Run, Hide, Fight” response method, which provides a clear and effective strategy for handling such critical situations. Delivered in an expert-led, documentary-style format, learners are guided through the critical moments of a crisis, helping them understand how to act quickly, stay focused, and respond with confidence when it matters most.
Workplace violence is a recognized hazard under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration General Duty Clause, and in a post-incident investigation, organizations must be able to demonstrate how they prepared employees. This training supports that effort by providing documented, expert-led instruction and measurable insight into whether employees understood how to respond.
Short, 2-minute video Micro Reels are available separately that reinforce key response actions year-round, helping employees keep skills top of mind.
Together with Traliant’s De-escalation training, which teaches conflict resolution and communication skills to prevent workplace violence, this course forms part of a comprehensive approach to workplace safety and violence prevention training.
