Active Shooter, really bad advice.

[proshot04]

This sign is hanging in the break room where i work. It came in our August packet and i might be one of the dumbest things i have ever saw from corporate. i just thought i would share, aside from the bad advice on how to confront a shooter i felt the "there is no pattern or method thing is just dumb".

Looks like the usual nonsense.

At least they don't recommend vomiting or pissing yourself...

What baloney.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Remove said flyer from the holder. Wipe with it. Return to holder.

sounds like the canned BS we got at my office.

 

[bwframe]

Where's the homeland security advice of getting out the scissors?

These sorts of things always make me wonder about those in HR...

102.5.1.4 Follow the instructions in [101.0] for sheltering in place.
102.5.2 Shooter Inside the Building
102.5.2.1 For an active shooter inside the building, it is likely that no official warning will be possible.
102.5.2.2 If there is a way to exit the building, do so immediately.
102.5.2.2.1 Assist others to escape, if possible.
102.5.2.2.2 Leave your belongings behind.
102.5.2.2.3 As exiting, keep hands visible for Emergency Responders to see.
102.5.2.2.4 Attempt to prevent others from entering the area in which the active shooter is.
102.5.2.2.5 Once to a safe place, if Emergency Responders are not already on site, call the emergency response number, (911 from a NSWC Crane land line or 812-854-1333 from a cell phone).
102.5.2.2.6 Do not attempt to move wounded people.
102.5.2.2.7 Follow instructions from Emergency Responders.

102.5.2.3.2 Try not to trap yourself or restrict your options to get away.
102.5.2.3.3 If in a room, lock the door if possible and move heavy objects against it. If the active shooter is inside the room and then leaves, lock it behind them and do not open the door even if the active shooter bangs on it and asks for help.

ask that person to slide identification under the door.
102.5.2.3.4 Silence your cell phone or pager; eliminate any source of noise.
102.5.2.3.5 Hide out of sight and behind protective items.
102.5.2.3.6 If a phone is available, call the emergency response number, (911 from a NSWC Crane land line or 812-854-1333 from a cell phone), being as quiet as possible. If it is not possible to speak, leave the emergency line open so the responder can hear what is happening.
102.5.2.3.7 If there are injured persons in the room, attempt to render aid as best as possible.
102.5.2.3.8 Prepare to defend yourself in case the active shooter regains entry to the room. Look for objects in the room that could be used for this purpose.
102.5.2.3.9 If the event lasts for several hours, assess all assets, food, water, and medical supplies. Think about establishing a toilet area. Take shifts of two or three persons at a time staying alert.
102.5.2.3.10 Remain calm.
102.5.2.4 As a last resort, if you cannot escape and cannot get to a safe place, attempt to disrupt or incapacitate the active shooter by taking aggressive physical action
against the shooter or by throwing items or attacking with improvised weapons.
102.5.2.5 Once the event is over, follow the direction of Emergency Responders. Keep your hands visible as you exit and do not make quick movements. You may be asked to place your hands on your head; you may be searched; you may be questioned; you may be examined by medical personnel. Do not attempt to collect your belongings or leave the area until you are told to do so.

That hurt to read.

 

[actaeon277]

Step 1. Return fire.
Step 2. Enjoy beverage.

 

[JeremiahJohnson]

Hahaha. Welcome to military technical documentation. Your lobotomy is now complete.

 

[actaeon277]

Active shooters shoot guns????? Really?
Would that be because a murderer using an axe is not called a shooter?

 

[Disposable Heart]

I will note the sign does mention something that COULD help you if you are caught without protection: Treating your coworkers right.

Remember, these people are enraged over something, could be anything from being fired, to ribbing at work. I've worked with so many industrial companies where "ribbing" is common and it's no wonder people beat the crap out of their supervisors in the parking lot or bring guns into work (had that at one place I worked at, guy was pissed, brought in a pistol, ready to shoot his supervisor, was talked down). Acting professional, leaving personal issues at home and treating others with respect can help and has. Several workplace shootings have had people passed over. Interviews with the people passed over have shown they respected and treated the shooter fairly in past interactions. Gee, no ****ing wonder right? We've become a nation that is ACIDLY sarcastic and willing to put others down to cover for our own issues. And it's no wonder we've become a nation bent on shooting our way out of trouble, than working through it.

Outside of that, the rest of that poster is dreck...

My experience with corporate HR is they will act like they are your friend, but stick you the first chance they get.

I have to agree people all to often come into work ready to take out there emotional problems on other coworkers i guess it makes them feel good gives them a sense of control, problem is you never know how close to the edge someone is. I don't want to delve into the mind of crazy, most not all but most shooters are people who feel wronged and alienated real or not. i cant understand why people can not be nice to people, i know that sounds naive. Being cordial would go a long way.
