Hello All--
As I said in my reply to this thread a while back, I work at Industries of the Blind in Greensboro, NC, and we had a training with a police officer about dealing with active shooter situations, but one of the things he specifically couldn't do was help us develop a plan.? He talked about many of the principles listed in other responses, but some of that is difficult due to our population (of 225 employees, around 150 or so are blind or visually impaired).? Additionally, much of our plant is large open spaces of factory floor / warehouse space.? Many of our departments are mixed low vision / blind / sighted, but 2 of our departments are almost exclusively blind or visually impaired employees (including the supervisors in both departments).
Is this something that any of you have addressed in a similar environment?? We are meeting next week to discuss this again, and so any ideas or experience would be welcome!
Thanks!
