SafeCulture360 / Gig Harbor
Don't pay $100,000 for another salary. Build your safety program yourself, in one day.
One working day. You leave compliant, with a written safety program, a threat assessment team with real names in it, and a ninety-day plan. Seating is limited.
Reserve your seatLunch, snacks, refreshments, and your working binder included.
Why this exists
The requirement is already on you. Almost nobody has met it.
Washington requires every employer to have a formal, written accident prevention program. If you have more than about ten employees, it also requires a safety committee with an elected chair and specific rules about who serves on it. This is not new, and it is not optional.
Most businesses have something on file. Almost none of it says a word about violence, threats, or what happens when an employee comes to you frightened of a customer, an ex-partner, or a coworker.
That is not negligence. It is what happens when safety sits on the plate of someone who also runs hiring, scheduling, payroll, and the actual business. Large companies hire a person for this. A safety manager in Washington earns somewhere between $97,000 and $120,000 a year depending on which survey you read.
For most businesses that is not a real option, and it should not have to be.
This workshop replaces that hire for the part that matters most. Getting it written down, getting a team in place, and knowing what to do when something happens.
Who this is for
Owners, operators, and the person who got handed safety on top of their real job.
Built for you if
- ✓You run a Washington business with roughly 5 to 200 employees
- ✓You are the owner, general manager, or operations lead who signs off on policy
- ✓You inherited safety along with HR and were never trained for it
- ✓Your staff work alone, work late, handle cash, or deal with the public
- ✓You run a clinic, agency, nonprofit, school, or faith organization with paid staff
- ✓Your written program has not been touched in years and you know it
Not the right fit if
- —You already have a dedicated safety or security department
- —You want a certificate to file without doing the work
- —You are hoping to sit and watch slides. You will be writing all day.
- —You are looking for firearms or physical defense training. This is a program and policy workshop.
The day, hour by hour
Six working sessions. Each one is taught, then built. Every session ends with a finished page about your business, not a generic sample.
9:00
01
What you are actually required to have
The plain-language version of Washington's requirements, without the acronym soup. Which rules apply to a business your size, in your industry, and which ones do not. Most people leave this hour relieved, because the list is shorter than they feared and clearer than they expected.
You build: a written coverage determination for your organization.
10:00
02
The hazard nobody writes down
Violence belongs in your hazard assessment next to slips and lifting, and it is almost never there. We look at access points, reception desks, parking lots and the walk to the car, after-hours and lone work, cash handling, and home or field visits. You learn to read your own building the way someone planning harm would read it.
You build: a site hazard assessment of your actual workplace.
11:30
03
The written program
What an inspector means by a program that is effective in practice, and why a downloaded template alone does not pass. We draft the violence section of your program together. What conduct is prohibited, what counts as a reportable concern, who receives a report, and what happens in the first hour and the first week.
You build: the violence section of your written safety program, in your own words.
12:45
Lunch
Provided, along with snacks and refreshments throughout the day. Most people spend it comparing notes with the business at the next table, which is half the reason the room is kept small.
1:30
04
Building your threat assessment team
The heart of the day. A threat assessment team is not your safety committee. It is small, standing, confidential, and cross-functional, and it is the difference between noticing a problem and doing something about it. We cover who sits on it, what authority it has, when to bring in counsel or law enforcement, and how a concern actually reaches the team instead of dying in someone's inbox. Then we work two real scenarios in small groups, focused on observable behavior rather than profiles.
You build: a team charter with your people named in it, and a one-page referral pathway.
3:00
05
Training, drills, and response
What has to be trained, who has to receive it, and what proves it happened. How to reach night and weekend staff, who always get missed. Active threat response built for an ordinary workplace, not a school or a hospital. And the difference between a drill that helps and a drill that is theater.
You build: a twelve-month training calendar with dates and owners.
3:45
06
Documentation and your first ninety days
What records need to exist, how long you keep them, and what gets asked for first. We turn incident logs, committee minutes, and training rosters into one connected system instead of three shoeboxes, and we set up your software before you leave.
You build: a ninety-day implementation plan with an owner and a date on every item.
+30 days
Follow-up call with your cohort
One group video call a month later. What got done, what stalled, and what to do about it. Included with your seat.
The room, set up the way you will find it.
A team partway through a session.

The first ten companies to enroll receive a full year of access, set up during the workshop, with your first records entered before you leave. A $2,997 value, included at no additional cost.
Reserve your seat
Seating is limited, with a maximum of two seats per company. Keeping the room small is what makes the working format possible.
$897
First seat
Full day, working binder, lunch, and the thirty-day follow-up call.
$497

Who is teaching this
Theresa Norris
Board Certified Workplace Violence and Threat Specialist

brought back by the same client
"Our goal was to provide training that would help our employees feel more prepared and confident in a crisis. What we received was far more than a training program. Her ability to engage employees across different locations, cultures, and experience levels was exceptional."
"From an organizational perspective, this was a valuable investment. The professionalism, quality of instruction, and positive impact on our workforce exceeded our expectations."
Global Senior Advisor, Health & Safety
Global company, 50,000 employees
"The training was engaging and useful, and it served us well should we have to face the unthinkable. The collateral benefit was the unexpected team building outcome. Everyone reconnected, both as humans and as colleagues."
General Counsel
Chief Risk Officer
"I found this to be an immensely beneficial session, and surprisingly fun, despite the very hard, heavy topic being discussed. Handling a group of industry leaders is not an easy feat, and she managed it well."
Senior Vice President
Global employer
"We plan to incorporate the insights to improve how we handle employee escalations. The exercise that demonstrated the brain under stress was enlightening beyond the context of an active shooter."

Questions people ask
We already have a safety program. Is this still worth it?
Bring it with you. Part of the morning is spent auditing what you already have against what is actually required, and you will leave knowing exactly where the holes are. Most people who bring an existing program find it covers physical hazards well and says nothing about people.
We are very small. Does any of this apply to us?
If you have employees, you have a written program requirement. Smaller employers have simpler obligations, not zero obligations, and the workshop covers the smaller version alongside the larger one. Your coverage determination in the first session will tell you exactly where you land.
Nothing has ever happened at our business.
Good. This is the only time you can do this work calmly, with a clear head, on your own schedule. Everything about it is harder, slower, and more expensive after an incident.
Should I send two people?
Yes, if you can. The second seat is $497. The plans that actually get implemented are the ones where two people came back with the same understanding and can hold each other to the dates.
Is this a sales pitch for something else?
No. You are paying for a complete day and complete documents, and you can walk out and implement all of it without ever speaking to us again. If you want ongoing help afterward it is available, and it will not be pitched from the front of the room.
Do I need any background in safety or HR?
None. This is written for the person who never asked for this responsibility and got it anyway.
What if I have to cancel?
Full refund up to 14 days before the workshop. After that you can send someone else in your place or move your seat to the next cohort.
One day. Then it is done.
You will not have to think about this again for a year, and you will have the documents to prove it.
