BEHAVIORAL CRISIS NATURAL DISASTER PANDEMIC TECHNOLOGY CRISIS WORKPLACE ACCIDENT WORKPLACE VIOLENCE.
A behavioral emergency, also called a behavioral crisis or psychiatric emergency, occurs when someone’s behavior is so out of control that the person becomes a danger to everyone. The situation is so extreme that the person must be treated promptly to avoid injury to themselves or others. Time is of the essence in a behavioral emergency, so it is important to recognize the symptoms of this type of emergency and to realize the degree to which the situation can escalate if immediate steps are not taken to diffuse the situation.
Natural Disaster Individually, employees will have varying levels of interest in disaster preparedness. Some will be proactive and have emergency kits or “go bags” in their cars and have supplies at home like non-perishable food, bottled water, generators, etc. Other employees will have none of these. Employers need to take the responsibility of training employees with some basic knowledge should a disaster occur in the workplace.
Topics include: First aid Emergency exits Fire extinguisher Preparing for crises.
