WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Workplace violence continues to emerge as an important issue in business and employers need to take the lead in prevention and mitigation efforts. Violence in the workplace can originate from many sources, opportunistic criminals, customers, vendors, current and former employees and domestic violence spilling over into the work place. OSHA does not have a specific requirement mandating employers to protect their employees from on the job violence. It is also true that after a violent incident OSHA will levy fines and enforcement actions using the “General Obligation Clause” that states workers must be protected against “foreseeable hazards”.
Taking proactive steps to address workplace violence directly benefits employers by providing:
- Reduced exposure to liability and enforcement action in the event of an incident. Related lawsuits result in average settlements of $600,000 and average jury awards of $3 Million.
- Comply with government and industry standards.
- Maintaining job satisfaction and reducing employee turnover.
- Establishing a brand as an employer of choice.
- Providing some protection from increased Worker’s Comp and other insurance premiums
