Contributing Editor: Jon F. Elliott, J.D.

Employers can reduce the likelihood of workplace violence by implementing effective prevention programs. These will reduce the possibility of violence as well as minimize the personal and organizational suffering caused.

Learn how to manage the risks associated with workplace violence. Don’t be caught unprepared. Arm yourself with the most powerful weapon available: knowledge.

Each chapter of the Practical Guide addresses a specific issue that can be translated into elements of a successful workplace violence prevention program. In order to facilitate or enhance/audit your program, the Practical Guide also includes numerous implementation checklists, case studies, response protocols, model codes, sample reporting forms, and reference documents from agencies and professional organizations.

The Practical Guide is updated quarterly because the world changes rapidly—you may have to comply with rules that previously did not apply to your business, or need guidance on dealing with threats never before encountered.
