What can I do to feel safe in the Workplace?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Many working Americans do not feel safe at work these days. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iif\/oshwc\/cfoi\/cftb0295.xlsx\">Considering that 15% of all fatal workplace injuries were due to violence were due to violence in 2015<\/a>, American workers have something to be concerned about every single day. Shockingly, many workplaces do not have procedures in place in case the worst happens. Along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/pricing\/\">a panic button from CRS Notify<\/a>, incident response plan would help make the chances of victimization a lot smaller.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is an Incident Response Plan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>People may argue with me, but there is a big difference between a safety plan and an\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/thecounterterroristmag.com\/pdf\/IntegratedPhysicalSecurityHandbook.pdf\">incident response plan.<\/a> A security program includes all safety concerns that can happen on a daily basis. However, an incident response plan focuses on the main events that could have a grave impact on the quality of life for you and your staff. An incident response plan should be simple and to the point. The biggest thing that can be accomplished by an incident response plan is giving your team a proactive way to respond to a reactive crisis. People always go back to the way they were trained in high-stress situations. Not being trained could result in an unneeded panic that leads to a sizable increase in the potential for injury.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Objectives of an Incident Response Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The plan will be organized and accurate for a variety of possible emergencies.<\/li>\n<li>This plan will provide for the safety of all patrons and stakeholders.<\/li>\n<li>This program will include the use of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/pricing\/\">CRS Notify\u00a0<\/a>emergency alert system and the means of communication during an emergency.<\/li>\n<li>The program will also seek to decrease liability that may develop during a crisis.<\/li>\n<li>This program will focus on proactive measures, rather than reactive.<\/li>\n<li>This program will help staff members, patrons, and other team members in identifying and responding to potential threats and emergency situations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>How Do You Focus on an Active Crisis Solution?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Concentrate on\u00a0identifying a simple method to empower your staff\u2019s options in an actual crisis. Select an incident response plan that will increase workers risk awareness, avoidance, and response timing. The key is to prepare staff with options that they could use in most\u00a0any situation. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alicetraining.com\/\">\u201crun, fight, or hide\u201d<\/a>\u00a0is maybe the most efficient method to use for any type business.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, local police departments, fire and rescue departments and numerous military bases offer an active crisis training class to businesses and civilians. Moreover, everyone should take advantage of these classes. This training could determine the outcome of any given crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Creating an active emergency response plan for your business is crucial. Knowing how to protect employees from the violence in today\u2019s society should be your primary focus. So, let\u2019s dig into what an active crisis response plan is and how to start putting one into effect for\u00a0your facility.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is the Next Step for Your Alert Notification System?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Coordination between local responders and your staff is critical.\u00a0An alert notification system can merge those two warning systems down to immediate if not instantaneous. Every second counts\u00a0in a dangerous situation. Circumstances can escalate quickly. What two minutes feel like in regular time, in a high stressed situation is an eternity.<\/p>\n<p>Lower notification time down to seconds and train your employees with the Warrior mindset. Having an alert notification sent out can get people to quickly respond which lowers the opportunity of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/threat-workplace-violence\/\">victimization<\/a>\u00a0and injury significantly.\u00a0Alert notification trumps almost anything at this point. It gives people time to respond effectively and is the most cost-effective tool. You want something that you can use today, tomorrow, and in ten years. You don\u2019t want something sitting on a shelf that you spent a lot of money on just collecting dust because it\u2019s outdated or it just never worked.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In conclusion, having an incident response plan in place along with a panic button from CRS Notify can effectively lessen your chances in the case of workplace violence. Employees can rest easy knowing that there are procedures in place in case the worst happens. Safety should always take priority.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Still Unsure About a Panic Alarm System?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact us for more information to make the best decision for your panic button system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"mailto:info@communityresponsesystems.com\">info@communityresponsesystems.com<\/a>\u00a0or 800-533-7201 M-F 8-5 pm CST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6657 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_logo_approved-600x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_logo_approved-600x181.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_logo_approved.jpg 751w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many working Americans do not feel safe at work these days.
