20 murders every week. 18,000 assaults in the same
time. All on the job.
Sharp increases in workplace violence continue to take an unfortunate
toll on American business-and its employees, families and communities.
Preventative measures may be well-intentioned, but pose troubling
conflicts in themselves, pitting each employee's privacy vs. overall
worker protection.
A full-self evaluation of your business and its personnel may be the
key to safeguard against workplace violence. Thomas D. Schneid's
Occupational Health Guide to Violence in the Workplace provides the
important guidelines for that careful, all-encompassing examination.
Most books on workplace violence focus on psychological profiles. In a
change of pace, Schneid examines the issue from a safety/health
professional's viewpoint, taking all angles, legal issues, and
potential ramifications into account. Chapters focus on not only
in-house efforts to prevent violent incidents, but also government and
legal standards directly or indirectly related to worker's rights and
corporate liability.
Make every effort to prevent workplace violence from hitting home:
