Protecting workers from violence requires proactive management. An initial step in managing workplace violence is often an assessment of risk. For example, have workers experienced incidents of violence on the job? Are there situations in the workplace in which workers might be most vulnerable to an incident of violence? In addition to an initial assessment, guidelines regarding violence in the workplace should be established. Workers need to know, for example, who to report to regarding an incident of violence as well as know that there are boundaries as to what is acceptable behavior in the workplace. As a team, what would you include in an assessment of risk of violence? How would you go about collecting the information? Can you find a risk assessment from an actual company? How does this assessment compare to your team’s recommended assessment? Work with your team to develop basic guidelines that you would recommend to an organization to reduce the chances of workplace violence. Recommended steps and content for guidelines can be found in a document prepared for employers and law enforcement agencies. As a team, share your assessment approach and recommended guidelines with the rest of the class. Given the team recommendations, are the recommendations doable and within reasonable cost?
