What to consider when choosing the most effective workplace violence prevention training
- Protect employees and visitors: Training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to identify potential threats, de-escalate conflicts, and protect themselves and others in the event of violence.
- Reduce legal risks: Workplaces that fail to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace violence can be held liable for incidents, particularly in states like California that have specific workplace violence prevention laws.
- Maintain a positive and productive work environment: A safe and secure work environment is essential for attracting and retaining top talent and promoting productivity.
- Equip employees to respond: Training provides employees with the necessary knowledge to recognize warning signs, report concerns, and take appropriate steps to de-escalate situations.
- Promote a proactive approach to safety: Training encourages a culture where employees feel empowered to speak up, report concerns, and take proactive steps to address potential risks.
- Comply with state regulations: In California, employers are required to provide annual workplace violence training for employees. New York has recently passed similar legislation, underscoring the national trend toward increased workplace safety measures.
- Increased aggression: Changes in behavior, such as yelling, threats, or physical intimidation.
- Verbal abuse: Name-calling, insults, or derogatory comments.
- Harassing or threatening behavior: Staring, following, or making unwelcome advances.
- Stalking or intimidation: Repeated unwanted contact or attention.
- Stay calm and composed: Avoid escalating the situation by reacting emotionally.
- Listen and try to understand the other person's perspective: Show that you are taking them seriously.
- Use assertive, but non-threatening language: Clearly state your boundaries and expectations.
- Remove yourself from the situation if it feels unsafe: If you feel threatened, it's important to get to a safe place and report the incident.
- California: The California Labor Code Section 6401.9 requires employers to develop and implement a workplace violence prevention plan and provide annual training.
