We Volume
understand
that Active Threat is

not confined to active shooters; it in-
cludes insider threat, terrorism, and
workplace violence.
2018 CHAMPIONS Edition
In September 2012 following the shoot-
ing at Accent Signage Company in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, several civil
lawsuits were filed against the com-
pany, which alleged that the company
should have known from the shooter’s
work history that he was potentially
dangerous.
Following this shooting, the Occupation-
al Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) changed its General Duty Clause
to include active shooter incidents as a
recognized hazard in the workplace.
Pending legislation (H.R.7141) will, if
passed, make education and training on
workplace violence a requirement.
