Workplace Violence

Description: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health reports that murder is the leading cause of death for women at work, and the third leading cause of death for men. In 1995, 1,024 Americans were victims of homicide by co-workers, personal acquaintances or by persons in the commission of other crimes. Each year, nearly two million individuals become victims of violent crime while working or on duty.

This eight-hour course on workplace violence was developed in response to the many requests from law enforcement officers and crime prevention practitioners in the State of Florida. The one-day workshop is designed to cover presentation skills, OSHA guidelines, perpetrator profiles, employee disenchantment, levels of violence, behavioral warning signs, and prevention methods.

This course is designed for anyone who trains or is responsible for security, whether in the government, public, or private sector. The goal of the workshop is to acquaint the attendee with the proper information to teach this highly relevant subject.
