Now that we have shocked you and startled you with the risk factors, what should you do?

Our friends at OSHA recommend the following strategies for preventing workplace violence:

  1. Do a worksite analysis (more on this later)
  2. Implement hazard prevention and controls
  3. Safety and health training (much like this)
  4. Evaluation of the overall readiness
  5. Demonstrated management commitment
  6. Demonstrated employee involvement in safety
