Practical, Hands-On Training for Real-World Emergencies
TeachBLS offers Active Violence Immediate Response Training (AVIRT) aligned with the Health & Safety Institute. This course prepares individuals and organizations to respond effectively during active violence or high-risk incidents through practical decision-making and hands-on skill development.
Why This Training Matters in California
California Senate Bill 553 (SB 553) requires most employers to implement a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and provide employee training related to:
- Workplace violence hazards
- Emergency response procedures
- Actions to reduce injury and loss of life
AVIRT supports these requirements by delivering instructor-led, hands-on training, rather than awareness-only or video-based programs.
What Participants Learn
- Situational awareness and recognition of warning signs
- Immediate response options during active violence incidents
- Decision-making under stress
- Personal safety strategies during emergencies
The focus is on becoming an immediate responder—someone capable of taking action in critical moments before professional responders arrive.
