Client-focused training

FinnStar provides training specific for your organization - whether it’s new or updated OH&S procedures, violence in the workplace protocols, or FinnStar’s unique Active Threat Training.

Creating a Safe Environment to Learn and Work

All too often the evening news leads with a story about a school or workplace shooting. Have you ever watched and wondered, ‘what would I do in that situation?’ or ‘why didn’t they notice that person’s behaviour before it happened - surely someone should have known.’ 

Stacey Jyrkkanen of FinnStar Consulting has created a unique program to address these questions. While many organizations are implementing strategies to respond to serious workplace violence, FinnStar’s Active Threat Program goes a step further to incorporate prevention. 

Active Threat training gives employees a deeper understanding of these threats, the tools to recognize the ‘worrisome behaviours’ indicative of persons in crisis, and the resources available to intervene and help move these individuals off the pathway to violence.  

Unfortunately, like most emergency events, you can’t plan for every eventuality – there are external sources of violence that we don’t always know about: partner violence, custody issues, etc.  The Active Threat program also provides employees with strategies for survival in the event of an active shooter situation.  These strategies can be used anywhere – at work, in a mall, a restaurant or conference – in your hometown, elsewhere in the country or around the world.  

This training is adaptable to your organization, business or school.

Topics include:

· Nature of threats and violence

· Recognition of persons in crisis – ‘worrisome behaviours’

· Intervention pathways

· Threat Assessments

· Safety and Privacy

· Workplace Risk Assessments and Planning

· Lockdown Protocol

· Survival Strategies – including hands on demonstrations
