Bomb Threat Incident

Although bomb threats are relatively rare, preparedness is vital. Tabletop exercises are an effective method to test your written bomb threat plan. Emergency examples include:
i. Receiving a verbal or written bomb threat.
ii. A suspicious package left unattended.
iii. A bomb threat delivered electronically.

Workplace violence in healthcare settings is a serious concern. Training, including situational awareness and de-escalation techniques, can help prevent panic and keep employees safer. This training should address common incidents involving:
i. Threats from disgruntled clients or patients.
ii. Violence incidents due to family conflict within the healthcare setting.
iii. Internal conflict between employees escalating into violence.
