Another aspect of workplace safety is ensuring your workplace is safe from violence. A brochure (available online) on the UC Davis web site states:
"Workplace safety has become a major concern to managers and employees alike. Media attention has resulted in fear and apprehension, yet violence is less common than is popularly believed. Given the many millions of workers, the probability is very low that any single individual will be involved in a violent workplace incident leading to serious injury. Still, prevention is critical. Incidents involving disruptions and threats are increasing, and early intervention helps prevent more serious acts."
This brochure provides some good information about preventing workplace violence. The topics covered by the brochure include:
- What is disruptive, threatening, or violent behavior?
- Preventive steps to maintain a safe workplace
- Dealing with performance problems or conflicts
- Indicators of problem behavior
- How to respond to disruptive, threatening, or violent behavior
- Post-incident response
