How safe is your workplace?  Do you know what to do in an emergency?  Join us as we cover two important safety topics in one four-hour workshop.

Part 1:  Violence Prevention

In 2009, over 570,000 nonfatal violent crimes occurred in the American workplace, and one out of every nine workplace fatalities was a homicide.  The numbers are staggering, but UEA's safety consultant, Allen Freauff, can help you prepare.  You'll learn how to spot a potentially dangerous situation before it develops, how to assess the level of risk, and what steps you can safely take to deal with it.  A proactive approach can help keep your employees safe!

Part 2:  Workplace Emergency Action plans

Everyone knows to call 911 in an emergency, but what do you do while waiting for help to arrive?  If the emergency occurs at work--particularly in a manufacturing environment--it could involve fire, chemicals, water, or razor-sharp metal.  A good emergency action plan can save lives and property by laying out just how you should respond to all the most likely scenarios.

If you have a plan in place, come see how it can be improved.  Don't wait until you have an emergency to put your plan to the test!
