Workplace Safety
Tiered Approach

Overview

Workplace Violence can be a complex topic. With recognized international standards and varying national guidance, where do you start? CPPS has taken the guess work out of it and built an easy to follow roadmap for implementing a successful program.

 
CPPS Tiered Approach Tier One Plans, Policies and Procedures. Written plans on how the organization responds to threats or emergency situations
 

Tier 1

Plans, Policies and Procedures

Plans, policies and procedures serve as the basis of the entire program; everything should be in writing. These documents serve to notify employees of what is and is not acceptable behavior as well as provide written plans on how the organization responds to threats or emergency situations.

Tier 2

Awareness Training for Employees

Training all employees not only how to respond to extreme violence (such as an active shooter), but how to identify warning signs that someone may be progressing toward violence is absolutely necessary. An FBI Study on Pre-Attack Behaviors of Active Shooters found that on average shooters displayed 4 to 5 concerning behaviors that were observable to others. If we can train people to identify and report these behaviors, then you’ve created opportunity to intervene and potentially prevent a violent event from occurring.

Tier 3

Training for Managers and Frontline Leaders

This is often the biggest gap we see in programs. When an employee observes another individual exhibiting concerning behavior, who do they report it to? It’s typically going to be the person they report everything else to, their manager. But what does the manager do with this information? Managers and frontline leaders should be trained how to further identify warning signs and concerning behavior and trained what to do with the information.

Tier 4

Threat Management Team Training

The Threat Management Team is the final decision maker when it comes to addressing threats made to or within the organization. When managers and frontline leaders receive reports of concerning behavior, it’s the Threat Management Team who conduct a detailed assessment of the situation and determine how to address it.

Tier 5

Executive or Senior Leader Training

The executive team holds the potential to make or break a workplace violence prevention program. The senior leadership team needs to be made aware of the importance of a violence prevention program and how having or not having a program impacts the organization and its brand.
