2. How OSHA views / regulates violence in the workplace
3. Handling an active shooter situation
Mental Health – Gary Moellers
Yes, it can happen to your organization. Although we hope we have healthy and productive employees at all times, you know that isn’t true.
Learn how mental health issues impact your business and what you can do to prevent problems or resolve them when they do arise in the workplace.
Workplace Violence – Bruce Harrison, Esq.
Some impacts can result in Workplace Violence - Nearly 2 million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year. Unfortunately, many more cases go unreported. Research has identified factors that may increase the risk of violence for some workers at certain worksites.
OSHA focus on the issue of workplace violence has ramped up dramatically in the past few years. Their initiatives have included the publishing of a Workplace Violence Factsheet, as well as Healthcare and Social Service Workplace Violence Guidelines, and, perhaps most importantly, relying on the so called “general duty clause” to take enforcement action against employers. The most important case of this type is now pending before the OSHA Review Commission, with major national players including the Chamber of Commerce filing “friends of the court” briefs. The final outcome in this case could be far reaching, and employers are well advised to implement proactive measures to be ahead of the possible outcome. Several possible proactive measures will be discussed.
- What is workplace violence?
- Who is at risk of workplace violence?
- How can workplace violence hazards be reduced?
- What is employer’s responsibility to prevent workplace violence?
