Compliance, Liability, and Risk Management

Beyond physical safety, municipalities face significant legal and financial exposure. AVIRT training helps public entities meet their duty of care obligations.

OSHA General Duty Clause

Employers must provide a workplace free from recognized hazards. Failure to provide active shooter training can be cited under OSHA 5(a)(1).

Liability Reduction

Documented training demonstrates due diligence, potentially reducing liability in the event of an incident. We provide detailed certification records for HR files.

Insurance & Risk Pools

Many municipal risk pools and insurance carriers offer premium incentives or require active violence training. AVIRT certification satisfies these requirements.
