Lessons Learned from a Near Miss: How Organizations Grow from an Averted Emergency
Organizations impacted by a crisis spend countless hours after the event studying what could have been done differently. After-action reviews occur in almost every case; changes occur within the organization as a reaction to the findings. But what about those “near miss” situations-the crises that are averted? What if we could learn from what didn’t happen?
In this presentation, SEC shares examples of organizations from across the country who have used their “near miss” experiences, in collaboration with SEC, to delve deeply into the circumstances and conditions around the incident through an after- action review. We lead participants through a hands-on, problem-solving model used to identify gaps in physical security and how those findings informed widespread change.
Plan, Prepare & Protect: Keys to Safety and Security in the Workplace
Incidents of workplace violence are steadily on the rise. Yet, many businesses are under-prepared.
We work with clients who are committed to the security of their work environments, but who, like many of us, don’t believe that an incident of workplace violence is likely to happen in their place of business! We strive to provide customized services that align with the organizational culture, risk environment, and budget of each client. We promote security strategies that build coalitions and leverage resources among workforce stakeholders, including management, Human Resources, legal, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and security. We want to ensure you meet the requirements to provide a safe workplace that is free from hazards or harm.
Behavioral Threat Assessments: Stop a Threat in its Track
We know firsthand – and research shows – individuals who cause imminent threats display concerning behaviors prior to the incident. For this reason, having a comprehensive behavioral threat assessment process is one of the most important tools for employers. This session delves into real-life scenarios in which the behavioral threat assessment process prevented a tragedy and helped employees in crisis receive the support they needed.
Security: Best Practices & Future Trends
In today’s world, it is important that both students and staff experience a sense of security within the environments where they expand their growth and knowledge. With the proper planning, safe training, and procedures, we can create safe, secure, and healthy educational spaces that support students’ wellbeing. Recognizing that each district and each building within that district may have unique threats, security assessments are the first step in determining what the biggest risks are in order to save valuable time, resources, and money. SEC will walk you through how a district site assessment, facility planning, operational procedures, and forward-thinking strategies have helped to create safe and secure learning environments across the country.
