ACC Arizona

According to the FBI, more than two million workers become workplace violence victims each year – ranging from verbal bullying to homicide – with the vast majority of incidents being unreported either out of embarrassment, fear of retaliation, or simply because the employees do not know they should report an incident. While neither federal law nor specific state laws require a workplace violence prevention program, the federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and its state analogs mandate employers to provide a workplace free of "known health & safety hazards," which easily applies to workplace violence incidents. In the wake of recent violent events, many employers are reviewing their security and safety policies. Program presenters will discuss that, while it's impossible to guarantee that companies and employees won't face threats, there are steps which employers can take to ensure that their workplace is better prepared. This program will also provide attendees with a checklist to use as part of a regular safety and health inspection or audit that is conducted to evaluate the safety of a workplace.
