WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Over 2 million incidents of workplace violence are reported
annually in America, with over 400 on-the-job homicides per year. In 2015, over
16,000 employees reported being assaulted by a co-worker, but many occurrences
of workplace violence are due to outside sources such as former employees,
robbers, intimate partners of workers, or even ideological terrorists. Beyond
the typical reasons for workplace violence, researchers are now beginning to
see the emergence of “hybrid violence” in which traditional motives such as
pre-existing workplace grievances combine with causes such as domestic abuse or
religious and political extremism. In order to defend against workplace violence,
employers must shift from a reactive to a proactive stance, anticipating risk
before it arrives as tragedy. Developing a workplace violence prevention and
response plan can help employers to decrease the potential for injuries and
loss of life, while also reducing the directly and indirectly associated costs
that it brings. Most corporate security directors agree that workplace violence
is among their highest concerns for employee safety. However, those who fail to
act by confronting the danger head on, risk potential physical and economic
casualties by leaving themselves open to violent attacks, increased absenteeism
and turnover, reduced employee productivity and morale, employee performance
issues, and possible regulatory violations, as well as legal liabilities.
AREAS COVERED
This unique 90 minute workplace violence prevention training
facilitated by experienced trainer Lynn Fairweather, begins with an exploration

particular risks that various industries and employees may face. Next, the

by revealing the employee perpetrator risk factors and behavioural warning
signs that may accompany impending attacks. Participants will learn about
utilizing workplace violence safety tips and highly validated workplace
violence assessment tools, and uncover the basic principles of threat assessment
and management that will assist them with evaluating and handling workplace
violence cases. Content includes education on the Path to Intended Violence,
situational analysis, questions to ask about individual employee cases, and how
to develop a dependable, in-house, multidisciplinary workplace violence
prevention program. Next, attendees will learn how to build strong and
comprehensive workplace violence prevention and response policies, and explore
the essential elements of employee training and awareness at all levels,
including a crucial training concept called “The 3 R’s” (Recognize, Respond and
Refer). Finally, the last third of the presentation will focus on the
foundations of employer liability, featuring information on OSHA violations,
negligent hiring, training, retention, and supervision lawsuits and wrongful
death claims. Participants will discover in depth legal concepts of Employer
Liability Act, Doctrine of Vicarious Liability, Special Relationships, and
Failure to Exercise Ordinary Care. The session concludes with a selection of
workplace violence prevention tips, ideas for individual employee safety
planning, and additional resources that can provide further information on the
