Personnel Hazards:
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
Violence is a potential hazard in all workplaces, and
an everyday hazard in some occupations.
The source of violence can be strangers, clients,
significant others of coworkers, or co-workers
themselves. Threats or other precursors to
violence must be reported and addressed.
Physical security of the office should be
evaluated, with reasonable precautions taken,
such as lighted parking areas, secured entrances,
and other measures as appropriate.
Preplanning for violence prevention and training
should take place.
