Perhaps an intake worker is helping a belligerent customer. The veterinarian office worker could raise a low alert, making their colleagues aware of the unfolding situation.<\/p>\n<p>Another scenario where an under-desk panic button system for veterinarian offices would be useful is in imminent danger to workers and clients. A veterinarian office worker could raise a high alert, which would dispatch police immediately. CRS Notify under-desk panic button systems connect to 911 via E911 integration. This bypasses the alarm company altogether and sends the alert straight to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Because medications and other drugs are available at some veterinarian offices, an under-desk panic button system from CRS Notify would be essential to keep all employees in the loop of what is going on at all times.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to Avoid Workplace Violence in Veterinarian Offices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Veterinarian offices are vulnerable to workplace violence for a few reasons. First off, veterinarian offices sometimes see people in desperate situations looking for a quick and easy way out. Secondly, some veterinarian offices dispense medications to some of the animals within the office.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance cameras are an absolute must when trying to reduce workplace violence in veterinarian offices. The shelters that have surveillance cameras not only use them to identify those who commit animal abandonment but to identify those who may commit violence against the shelter workers as well.<\/p>\n<p>Some veterinarian offices dispense controlled medications. Certain controlled substances are required by the DEA to be recorded at all times. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov\/pubs\/brochures\/pharmtheft.pdf\">The DEA advises<\/a> pharmacies and other places that dispense controlled substances to keep this information stored properly at all times.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Incident Response Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6647  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_26_18.Still006.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>An incident response plan is just as important as an under-desk panic button system for veterinarian offices. How does the staff need to react in case of emergency? Depending on the type of emergency, it may not be advisable to hit the under-desk panic button system right away. In fact, many safety and security personnel will advise against hitting the under-desk panic button system during an active emergency if it is not safe to do so.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of an active shooter, many places will recommend\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/phe.gov\/Preparedness\/planning\/Documents\/active-shooter-planning-eop2014.pdf\">run-hide-fight<\/a>. Running from the situation is the first thing that people should do. If it is unsafe to run, then people need to hide in a safe place. If all else fails, fighting the assailant should be a last resort.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>An under-desk panic button system should be included in every incident response plan. CRS Notify under-desk panic button systems include the option to raise two alert levels. Our under-desk panic button systems also send\u00a0alerts to everyone within a network if an alert is raised. CRS Notify under-desk panic button systems are directly connected to 911. This saves valuable dispatch time when seconds matter the most.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Still Unsure About an Under-Desk Panic Button System?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Contact us for more information to make the best decision for your under-desk panic button system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"mailto:info@communityresponsesystems.com\"><strong>info@communityresponsesystems.com<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0or 800-533-7201 M-F 8-5 pm CST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6657 size-medium aligncenter\" 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>Veterinarian offices are not immune from workplace violence.
