Understanding Workplace Violence
& Prevention Strategies


back to Training Catalog Page

Learning Objectives

Employees expect their workplaces to be free from intimidation and threatening behavior, physical and verbal abuse, or vandalism and arson; whether that violence might be committed by another employee or by a member of the public. While most workplaces are safe, incidents of violence have increased in recent years. Tragically, the vast majority of these incidents could have been prevented or mitigated if suspicious behavior had been recognized and reported.

This CIRMA training and education program discusses the issues surrounding workplace violence and to provide some tools to help prevent and mitigate workplace violence.

Participants will learn:

  • Workplaces and employees at higher risk.
  • Risk factors for workplace violence.
  • Common causes of violent and aggressive behavior, both internal and external.
  • Warning signs, physcological factors, and cultural norms.
  • Components of a workplace violence prevention program to reduce incidents and liability.
  • Preventative measures.
  • Protecting organizational assets, including people, property, and information. 
  • Emergency operations exercises.
  • Interventions and crisis response.

Audience

This training and education program is designed for:

  • Human Resource Directors
  • Risk Managers
  • Department managers and supervisors


"Violence in the workplace is a serious safety and health issue. Its most extreme form, homicide, is the third-leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States."
