Active violence can happen anywhere. AVIRT prepares people to recognize threats, make decisions, and act decisively before chaos takes over.
This training is about awareness, decision-making, and survival—not tactics, weapons, or law enforcement response.
Awareness Before Action
People don’t fail because they panic — they fail because they don’t recognize early warning signs. AVIRT focuses on awareness, situational recognition, and understanding how violence develops before it becomes unavoidable.
Decision-Making Under Stress
In high-stress situations, people fall back on habits. AVIRT trains people how to think, decide, and move when time is limited and information is incomplete.
Practical, Human Responses
AVERT is designed for real people in real workplaces. No tactics. No hero fantasies. Just practical actions that reduce harm and increase survivability.
Active violence is no longer a rare, unpredictable event. It occurs across industries, locations, and organization sizes. The question is no longer if a workplace may face a violent incident—but whether people recognize warning signs early and know how to act when seconds matter.
AVIRT is not tactical training.
It is not weapons instruction.
It is not law-enforcement response.
AVIRT is a decision-making and awareness framework designed for real people in real workplaces. The focus is on recognizing risk, understanding human behavior under stress, and making practical decisions that reduce harm and increase survivability.
Designed for Real Work, Not Theoretical Scenarios
When stress spikes, people don’t rise to the occasion — they fall back on what they’ve practiced.
AVIRT is built around how people actually think, perceive, and react under pressure. Training focuses on awareness, movement, communication, and judgment — not memorization or check-the-box compliance. The goal is to create mental readiness, not fear.
Why Organizations Choose AVIRT
Organizations use AVIRT to establish a common language and response framework across teams, shifts, and locations. It supports emergency preparedness, complements existing safety programs, and strengthens organizational resilience without disrupting operations.
Preparedness isn’t panic.
It’s clarity — before the sirens ever start.
Most organizations don’t realize what gaps exist in preparedness until after an incident. AVIRT is designed to expose those gaps early—while there’s still time to act.
A practical, hands-on framework focused on awareness, decision-making, and survivability — not fear, tactics, or check-the-box compliance.
Participants learn how to recognize behavioral and environmental warning signs that often appear before violence occurs — and how to report concerns early, before escalation.
Hands-on training in direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet use so participants can act immediately when minutes matter — before EMS arrives.
Participants learn how the body reacts under extreme stress — including freezing — and how training helps people break paralysis and move toward safer action.
Training focuses on movement, cover vs. concealment, evacuation decisions, and how to reduce exposure when violence is occurring.
Participants learn how to prepare a room, barricade effectively, and use distraction or disarming techniques only when escape is not possible — emphasizing teamwork and survivability.
Guidance on interacting safely with law enforcement, providing immediate medical aid, and understanding post-incident actions and documentation.
Most organizations believe they’re prepared—until something happens.
When violence occurs, confusion fills the gaps left by unclear expectations, inconsistent training, and unpracticed decision-making.
AVIRT exists to close those gaps before they’re exposed under stress.
Not with fear, drills, or compliance theater—but with a shared understanding of how people recognize threats, communicate, move, and act when seconds matter.
Preparedness isn’t about predicting events.
It’s about ensuring your people don’t face them unprepared.
