It can't happen to me," is a common belief when it comes to violence. But unfortunately, it can. Tragedies that occur in the home, street, and work are reminders that violence can erupt anywhere and at any time. Few people enter into EMS expecting to defend themselves against a violent attack. However, it is crucial to know how to avoid violence when possible and how to survive when it erupts. This book is not designed to instill dread whenever an alarm goes off; it is designed to teach EMS personnel how to function both effectively and safely in high-stress situations. It challenges providers to be proactive and not reactive. The techniques taught in When Violence Erupts will help EMS personnel follow the first rule of EMS-stay safe!

When Violence Erups,
By A Customer
This review is from: When Violence Erupts: A Survival Guide for Emergency Responders (Paperback)
This is a very good book for EMT's and emergency workers. It can be used as a baseline for training protocol, polices and procedures. It is especially good for the new orientee, beginner or trainers.
