Intense times in our society call for intense
education, which attendees of IAAM’s Academy for Venue Safety & Security
received August 20-24 at the American Airlines Training Center near IAAM
World Headquarters.
This year’s Academy offered both a Year 1 and Year 2 curriculum for
students. At the end of the Academy, students participating in both years
were given a comprehensive test and were recognized at a certificate
ceremony.
AVSS offers the most meaningful, intensive training in security planning and
life safety management for the public assembly venue industry. The Academy
took attendees through an in-depth approach to many of the type of
emergencies that have and will occur at public assembly facilities and also
offered the most relevant and current safety and security training offered
for individuals in venue management.
“The AVSS can best be described as helping individuals to prepare, prevent,
respond and recover,” said Harold Hansen, CFE, AVSS coordinator. “The
Academy succeeds in making sure people are fully versed in everything they
need to do for the emergencies that are out there.”
Attendees also had an opportunity to complete the Vulnerability
Identification Self-Assessment Tool (ViSAT), if they had not already done
so. “This year was a very strong AVSS and we’re excited about some ideas we
already have in mind and will be sharing soon for next year’s Academy,”
Hansen said.
