With more campuses adopting bigger and more sophisticated security camera systems than ever before, there is a growing need for effective tools to monitor the footage. Analytics-enabled video management is one technological solution that can help hospitals, schools and universities improve their situational awareness.
Campus officials should have a clear understanding of NIMS, NFPA 1600 and NFPA 1561, as well as incorporate these codes into their emergency management programs. This first part of our three-part series discusses how both public and private sector institutions that do this can reduce their exposure to litigation in the aftermath of an incident and be better able to respond to the event itself.
While safety and security upgrades provide increased protection and improved service, they can also expose campuses to additional litigation. Applying for the protections provided by the SAFETY Act can reduce the number of lawsuits that normally result after a significant incident.
When the Sarasota County School District identified a need to get serious about video surveillance, administrators chose a hybrid CCTV solution that watches over and protects 43,000 students throughout the K-12 system.
Although physical intervention is considered by most in healthcare security to be the method of last resort, sometimes hospital employees are left with no alternative but to use this approach on someone who becomes a danger to themselves or others. This last part of our series on managing abusive individuals discusses how hospital personnel can appropriately use restraints.
In this webinar, attendees will learn the observable behaviors people exhibit as they head down a path of violence so we can help prevent the preventable.
