This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) independent training course manual from the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) presents information on how employees can contribute to your organization's security.

This course provides guidance to individuals and organizations on how to improve the security in your workplace. No workplace—be it an office building, construction site, factory floor, or retail store—is immune from security threats.

Upon completing this course, the participant will be able to:

Identify potential risks to workplace security.

Describe measures for improving workplace security.

Determine the actions to take in response to a security situation

Primary Audience - All private-sector and public-sector employees.
