The workplace is the most dangerous place to be in America, according to the U.S. Department of Justice . The problem is so pervasive that the Centers For Disease Control has classified workplace violence as a national epidemic.

Taking steps to prevent violence in your business is not only good policy – it’s the law! That’s because the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) general duty clause, says “an employer is obligated to furnish its employees a workplace free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause death and/or serious physical harm,” and has that been interpreted to include preventable workplace violence.

If you think your organization is immune, you’re wrong! 1 in 4 workers is attacked, threatened or harassed each year, costing:

$13.5 billion in medical costs / year
500,000 employees missing 1,750,000 days work / year
41% increased stress levels

Although workplace violence may often be unforeseen, there are steps to take to prevent it and to protect employees. The prevention of workplace violence is not the domain of any single department within an organization. Eliminating violence in the workplace before it happens should be a top priority for every executive, manager and team leader. Every organization should have a workplace violence policy just like they have an emergency policy.
