Their presentations are targeted at human resources executives, safety managers, vice presidents of manufacturing and finance, plant managers, superintendents, engineers, nurses and maintenance personnel.
Topics will include evaluations of disaster management plans; workplace violence policies; responses to threats, hate messages and the like; responses to violent situations; dealing with disturbed employees; responding to reports of biological or chemical terrorism; dealing with suspicious mail or packages; and identifying high-risk situations.
