Whenever tragic events occur and directly touch people who are members of our work team, there is an incentive to do something quickly. The “doing something” often triggers ready – fire  - aim reactions that later call for revisions or complete redesign

  ready - aim - fire  

IMT recommends a design-in approach, which involves an upfront investment of time and energy. The following key activities will establish a solid foundation for the development of a Workplace Violence Prevention and Crisis Management System that precisely matches the culture, operations and needs of an organization.

Formation of a project team, which is empowered to make choices and decisions relating to a comprehensive System. For best outcomes, this team should include representatives of the following functions or departments.

Human Resources

Security

Operations

Legal Counsel

Training

Media Relations

Health and Safety

Front-End Analysis

An incident involving threat and violence will expose the lack of an effective action plan and predictably trigger well-intentioned pledges never to allow such incidents to catch the company so unprepared.

 As quickly as the event becomes a distant memory, those pledges get moved to the back burner in the midst of competing priorities.

 

 Action Planning Workshop

The IMT Front-End Analysis and Action Planning Workshop recognizes the time limitations of the principal stakeholders in a Violence Prevention and Incident Management Program.

  • Site Security

  • Workplace Violence Experience

  • Emergency Notification

  • Threat and Aggressive Behavior Tolerance

System Design and Development

Training and Communication
