$25.00
The Workplace Violence Prevention Program establishes requirements for preventing, recognizing, reporting, and responding to workplace violence, threats, intimidation, harassment, and other potentially violent behavior. Workplace violence may involve employees, former employees, customers, clients, contractors, visitors, or other individuals and can range from verbal threats and threatening behavior to physical assault or other acts of violence. The program emphasizes workplace violence prevention, hazard recognition, employee awareness, prompt reporting, and emergency preparedness to help protect employees and others at Company workplaces.
The program addresses workplace violence risk assessment, threats and threatening behavior, warning signs, incident reporting, emergency response, workplace security, access control, employee communication, evacuation, shelter-in-place, and coordination with law enforcement or emergency services. Employees must promptly report threats, violent incidents, suspicious behavior, or other security concerns and should not place themselves at unnecessary risk when responding to a potentially violent situation. Supervisors and management are responsible for evaluating reported concerns and implementing appropriate preventive or corrective measures. The program also addresses incident investigation, documentation, employee training, emergency procedures, and program review to help reduce the risk of workplace violence and employee injuries.
