Is your office prepared to deal with workplace violence?
Each organization has its uniqueness, yet they all share the crucial objective of safeguarding their most precious assets, especially their staff.
The U.S. Department of Labor categorizes incidents of workplace violence as verbal, written, or physical actions intended to frighten, harm, or injure individuals in a work setting. Such threats stem from various motivations and generally fit into one of four classifications:
- Criminal Intent: Offenders with no legitimate business link, often entering to commit theft or other crimes.
- Customer/Client: People who are either availing or providing services and might turn aggressive, including past or present clients, patients, customers, or any other service recipients.
- Co-worker: Individuals connected through employment, including assaults by current or past employees, supervisors, or managers.
- Personal Relationship: Those who might not work at the company but have personal connections with employees, such as family members.
Prioritizing this issue is essential for business leaders. With workplace violence being a persistent threat, highlighted by recent mass shootings nationwide, establishing preventative measures to shield employees, staff, and business assets has never been more vital.
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nearly 2 million U.S. workers annually report experiencing workplace violence, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes about 450 workplace homicides each year.
Many businesses might not be aware of their responsibilities under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which requires maintaining a work environment “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm,” including workplace violence.
So, how can employers safeguard their workforce against workplace violence? While law enforcement provides resources, your organization may lack the infrastructure or resources to ensure employee safety internally. Engaging top-notch security services can relieve your HR department and executive staff.
