Workplace Violence

Program Overview
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found that an average of twenty workers are murdered each week in the United States. In addition, it is estimated that two million workers are victims of non-fatal workplace violence each year.
Workplace violence can occur in any business and includes harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation, stalking, verbal abuse. Left unchecked, this behavior can lead to assaults and homicide.
