Workplace violence – Proactive efforts foster safe, productive work environments

Description

Abstract: No one thinks their factory or warehouse will be the setting for a work-related homicide — until it’s too late.

If left unchecked, these less severe violent behaviors can escalate into more serious situations. This article looks at the different types of workplace violence and steps that companies can take to minimize the opportunities for violence to occur.
