What the SAFETY Act of 2002 Means for Your Company
Picture this: Your company rents space in a newly constructed, state-of-the-art, downtown office building. The security measures installed are heralded as iron clad but un-intrusive ' face recognition, voice recognition, retina scan, etc. Shortly after you move in, on a rainy Friday afternoon, a disgruntled former employee gets off the elevator and starts shooting. Although no one, fortunately, is killed before your receptionist, a former Navy Seal, tackles the former employee to the ground and disarms him, several employees are injured, some seriously, and everyone is shook up emotionally.
