Violence in the Workplace

This course teaches awareness of workplace violence, how it is defined, and the steps managers and employees can take to prevent violent outbreaks among coworkers. You’ll learn about the four recognized types of perpetrators of workplace violence. We’ll discuss OSHA recommendations for adhering to your company guidelines on dealing with violence and recommended procedures to increase your safety when confronted with violent people.

Both employees and managers have responsibilities related to violent behavior in the workplace. We’ll help you understand those responsibilities; we’ll also teach you how to react when you encounter violence personally or observe a violent encounter at work.
