Active Shooter Training for Businesses – [Complete Video Kit]
$229.00
This active shooter training aims to teach you and your employees what to do in an active shooter situation. How do you survive? What actions should you take to protect yourself and others? What are the “do’s” and “dont’s” during this crisis? The active shooter training video teaches viewers about “situational awareness” in the workplace and how to be better aware of your environment, what is happening around you, and the ability to look for things that seem out of place or that could be dangerous.
Most active shooter situations will be over in a matter of minutes. That fact limits the availability of law enforcement to help you through an active shooter crisis. Unfortunately, the first sign of an active shooter being present is gunfire. Would you or your co-workers be able to recognize the sound of gunfire? It sometimes can be hard to recognize, and this active shooter training video will help you differentiate between gunfire and other common sounds in the workplace.
This Active Shooter Training for Businesses and Employees Covers:
- How are active shooter incidents defined, what are their characteristics, and what should your employees know and understand during an active shooter attack?
- How long do most active shooter events last? (Usually, just 10 to 15 minutes, so they are over before law enforcement officers can arrive and be of help. That’s why businesses need to teach their employees what to do – also known as active shooter preparedness)
- What is situational awareness, and what is its role in a potential active shooter incident?
- What is “run, hide or fight,” and why is that important for employees to understand?
- How can employees differentiate gunfire from other loud noises? (hearing gunfire is usually the first indication that an employee has that an active shooter situation is occurring)
What To Do In Case of An Active Shooter Incident:
- During an active shooter event, employees are taught to act immediately, run for safety, “take cover,” and fight as an absolute last resort. Active shooter incidents evolve quickly, and educating employees on what to do in case of an emergency is imperative to their safety and to the safety of their co-workers.
- When running away from an active shooter, employees are taught to run as fast as they can in a zig-zag pattern.
- At what point should an employee call 911? (after they escaped the active shooter’s area and made it to safety. At that point, law enforcement should be contacted.)
- What are some ideas for hiding places within the business? (empty rooms with lockable doors, behind pieces of equipment, in the cab of a truck, etc.)
- What are some ways to make a hiding place more secure? (Push furniture against a door, turn out the lights so the room appears unoccupied, and more). If an employee can’t run away, then hiding until law enforcement arrives is a good second option – remember, run, hide, and fight in that order)
- If an employee is unable to run and must hide, they should also search for something that can be used as a weapon (fire extinguishers, letter openers, scissors, etc.)
Additional Topics Discussed in This Active Shooter Training for Businesses:
- When first responders arrive, their first order of business will be to determine who is who. They will have to differentiate between employees who are running for safety and the actual active shooter. Give as much information as you can about the active shooter incident, including the shooter’s location, if possible, to law enforcement.
- What active shooter preparedness can your employees learn before there is ever a real-life threat? (remember, preparation is important even if you never expect an actual active shooter incident)
- What best practices can businesses and employees learn in the event of an active shooter incident?
- and much more….

ALICE is an acronym for:
Alert: Be aware of your surroundings and be prepared to take action if you see something suspicious.
Lockdown: If you see an active shooter, take shelter safely and lock the doors.
Inform: If you can, call 911 and inform them of the situation.
Counter: If you can, take action to stop the active shooter. This could include throwing objects, running away, or fighting back.
Evacuate: If it is safe to do so, evacuate the area.
Generally speaking, an active shooter is defined as an individual actively engaged in shooting or attempting to kill people in a populated area. The FBI adds to the definition by stating that the victims the active shooter is attempting to hit are often selected randomly.
No. OSHA does not mandate active shooter training. However, it is usually part of broader workplace violence training and employee safety programs.

Our CEO though this was essential training that every employee should undergo. We thought it was a good product and our employees liked it so what else can you ask for?
Good price and good content. Our team thought it was well done
Taught our employees what to do in case of an active shooter situation. For the money, this was a great product.
Our employees liked this training. Although it’s an uncomfortable subject, it’s better to be prepared than not. Nice video and written materials.
Good product. This is happening all too often. Time to get your employees informed on what to do in case of an emergency involving a disgruntled employee with a gun. Better to be safe then sorry.
