Active Shooter Training for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Equip caregivers with life-saving training to protect themselves and those in their care.
Protecting patients, staff, and visitors is the highest priority in every healthcare facility. Active shooter incidents, while thankfully rare, can occur anywhere, including hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Why Active Shooter Training is Essential for Healthcare Workers
Workplace Violence Trends
Healthcare settings, while dedicated to healing, are unfortunately not immune to workplace violence. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare workers experience a higher rate of workplace violence than the national average. This includes incidents ranging from verbal abuse and threats to physical assaults and active shooter events.
Legal & Ethical Responsibility
Healthcare organizations have a legal and ethical obligation to provide a safe and secure environment for their employees and patients. OSHA's General Duty Clause mandates that employers furnish a workplace free from recognized hazards, including the potential for workplace violence. Implementing comprehensive active shooter training demonstrates a commitment to employee safety and helps fulfill these legal and ethical responsibilities.
Practical Benefits
Beyond compliance, active shooter training offers numerous practical benefits for healthcare facilities:
- Enhanced Employee Safety: Equipping staff with the knowledge and skills to respond effectively in critical situations can significantly improve their safety and well-being.
- Improved Patient Care: During an active shooter event, the ability to quickly and effectively evacuate patients and maintain a safe environment is crucial for continued patient care.
- Increased Staff Confidence: Training can boost employee confidence and reduce anxiety related to potential threats, creating a more positive and productive work environment.
