Overview/Description

Employees who perform facility security functions and work to protect those around them need to be aware of the subtle but important warning signs that there could be imminent danger present in an environment. When alerted to danger, security personnel must be able to defuse the situation and respond proportionally to the level of danger. In this course, you will explore the R.O.A.R. safety model. With this approach, you will learn how to recognize potential dangers and overcome your fears through proper preparation. You will also discover how to act effectively when faced with a threatening situation and what information to report to the appropriate authorities.
