MANAGEMENT : Developing a Policy and Program for Workplace Violence

Workplace Violence Policy and Procedures

The only acceptable workplace violence policy is, of course, a zero-tolerance policy. There can be no allowance for anything that even remotely resembles violence in the modern workplace. Nevertheless, devising a policy and program in which each and every member of the workforce is expected to play an important part can be challenging. Particularly if the current workforce hasn’t been provided with any specific workplace violence training. It is the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe working environment for every employee without exception. Hence, it is also the employer’s responsibility to provide each member of the workforce with appropriate workplace violence and safety training.
