Workplace Violence Litigation Threatens Business Occupational Hazards
OSHA has recommended the following steps to reduce the possibility of workplace violence-related death or injury:
* Employers should establish a zero-tolerance policy toward workplace violence against or by their employees. That means that if a serious incident occurs, one or more participants should be terminated.
* Companies should provide training so employees know what conduct is not acceptable, how to protect themselves, and what to do if they are victims.
* Where appropriate, adequate security measures should be implemented. Employers should secure the workplace, using photo identification badges, video surveillance, lighting, alarms, badges, and certified security personnel. Drop safes should be used to limit the amount of cash on hand. Appropriate field staff should be given cellular phones and hand-held alarms.------------------------------------------- posted 12:35 PM :: reference link ::
