Workplace Violence
Violence in our workplaces is a growing reality and one requiring our increased attention. OSHA cites an estimated 2 million workers in the U.S. who report being victims of workplace violence each year, with many more going unreported. And, unfortunately, acts of extreme violence, such as active shooter, are also on the rise, with the FBI reporting a three-fold increase between the years 2009 and 2016.
