Sadly, the tragic news of late has pointed out that no business sector or work environment is immune to the possibility of an active shooter incident. They have taken place in workplaces, college/university settings, shopping malls, places of worship, and government buildings.

OSHA regulations place the burden for a safe and secure work environment on the leadership of the company. Risk managers, security, and human resources personnel have to be focused on meeting their "duty of care" responsibility in order to avoid costly liability litigation.
