FEMA Active Shooter Training
An active shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and other populated area. In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims. Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly.
All employees can help prevent and prepare for potential active shooter situations. This course provides guidance to individuals, including managers and employees, so that they can prepare to respond to an active shooter situation.
This course – created by FEMA – is not written for law enforcement officers, but for non-law enforcement employees. The material may provide law enforcement officers information on recommended actions for non-law enforcement employees to take should they be confronted with an active shooter situation. The course is not owned by MedTrainer and is hosted on the FEMA website

Preventing Heat Related Illness on the Job During the COVID
Thousands of U.S. workers experience heat-related illnesses on the job every year, including both indoor and outdoor workers. Heat-related illnesses range from mild conditions like heat cramps and heat rash to life-threatening medical emergencies like heat stroke. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provide recommendations for employers regarding prevention of workplace heat-related risks, and some states have their own standards.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers face increased risks for heat-related illnesses due to changes in their working conditions and/or the need to wear PPE and face coverings. Employers and employees must be aware of these risks, and employers should modify their heat illness prevention plans, if necessary, to account for COVID-19-related changes. This course provides information on heat-related illnesses, their signs and symptoms, why some workers are at greater risk for heat-related illnesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, and measures employers and employees can take to mitigate these risks.
