Description

Workplace violence has been on the rise, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Tension and stress have risen both inside and outside of the workplace. Over 100,000 people were hurt in workplace violence incidents according to a recent CDC survey, and 750 to 1,000 workers lose their lives to workplace violence every year.This course will take you through how to recognize the warning signs, risk factors, and triggers that could result in a workplace incident. We teach our students to know how to spot the behaviors that suggest a propensity for violence and how to implement actions and policies to mitigate against such violence. We show supervisors how to employ strategies to combat workplace violence across an entire organization.The best way to protect yourself and others from workplace violence is by understanding what triggers it and how to nip it in the bud before it begins.This course is intended to provide safety and health training in compliance with Federal OSHA and State OSHA training requirements such as CalOSHA.
