Study: Employers Ignoring Workplace Violence Insurance Journal
'Employers must realize that under federal and state OSHA regulations they have a general duty to furnish to each employee, employment and a place of employment that is free from recognized hazards that are causing, or likely to cause, death or serious harm to the employee,' ASSE member and co-author of the survey JoAnn M. Sullivan, noted in the ASSE white paper. 'Employers, under the theory of respondent superior, are vicariously liable for any actions committed by its employees within the scope of their employment. The employer is liable for actions of the employee when the employee is working, even if the employee is not acting within company policy.'
Workplace violence includes homicides, physical attacks, rapes, aggravated and other assaults, all forms of harassment and any other act that creates a hostile work environment, Sullivan noted.------------------------------------------- posted 6:19 AM :: reference link ::
