Course Title: VDEM – Virginia State Employee Safety and Disaster Awareness Training
Course Description: The safety, health and security of our state employees is the top priority for all state agencies. This includes dealing with manmade threats from workplace violence to acts of terror, infectious diseases, and natural disasters that have the potential to impact the Commonwealth such as hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, flooding and earthquakes–to name a handful.
During this training, we will discuss important ways to keep yourself, friends, family and coworkers safe at work and at home, regardless of the hazards you may encounter. We will also provide additional resources that can ensure you are threat-ready as a state employee.
