The Active Shooter Preparedness course is an online training program that teaches employees how to prepare for and respond to an active shooter event. The course covers survival strategies, active shooter profiling, coordination with first responders, emergency operations planning, administrative and engineering controls, and employer responsibilities. It is built according to guidelines from DHS, FEMA, the FBI, and OSHA’s General Duty Clause.

This course is designed for anyone who works in or will be at a location where larger congregations of people are present. It is appropriate for employees in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail environments, government buildings, houses of worship, event venues, and any other public-facing workplace.

The course is approximately 1 hour in length. It is fully self-paced, so you can pause and resume at your convenience. You have 6 months from enrollment to finish. Progress saves automatically on the same device.

The course covers how to survive an active shooting event, profiling an active shooter, coordinating with local first responders, training and drills and assigning roles, administrative and engineering controls to reduce risk, industry-specific preparation, developing an emergency operations plan, and employer responsibilities.

OSHA does not have a specific active shooter training standard. However, under the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act), employers are required to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. OSHA and DHS both recommend that employers include active shooter preparedness as part of their emergency action plans. Some states and industries may have additional requirements.

Run, Hide, Fight is a widely recognized response framework for active shooter situations endorsed by DHS and other federal agencies. It prioritizes running (evacuating if a safe path exists), hiding (finding a secure location if evacuation is not possible), and fighting (as a last resort, taking action against the shooter). This course covers these response strategies in detail.

No. This course provides a printable certificate of completion. It does not include a Department of Labor (DOL) or OSHA card. DOL/OSHA cards are issued only with OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour Outreach Training courses.
