Clause 8: Threat response and incident management – ANSI/ASIS WVPI AA-2020 Workplace Violence and Active Assailant

ANSI/ASIS WVPI AA-2020 Workplace Violence and Active Assailant 8.9.2: 8.9.2 Immediate response critical considerations

Once violence starts, those already present shape the outcome most, so trained on-site emergency responders should be part of the plan. Where lives may be at risk, the first-response procedures for people on site should cover: getting away from the danger area to a safer place inside or outside the facility as the situation dictates; alerting others; notifying first responders and local security or safety resources as soon as possible; giving first responders floor plans and access, and using available technology such as video surveillance to track an unresolved situation and pass live updates to staff and responders; denying the attacker further victims by telling people in the danger area to escape or shelter in place, stopping the attacker's movement where possible and barricading refuges; resisting the attacker to end the assault where escape cannot be made, or where people who cannot defend themselves face imminent harm and stepping in is feasible without unreasonable risk to the defender; giving first aid where this does not further endanger victims or rescuers; closing off affected areas quickly to protect evidence; following first responders' instructions and avoiding disruptive actions; and accounting for everyone's status and whereabouts to find those missing and answer concerned parties accurately. The organization should choose suitable people for specialized training on each of these according to their roles; clause 11 covers continuity and preparedness.
