Abstract
Violence in the workplace continues to be an area that risk professionals need to be proactively preparing their institutions to prevent. At the same time, the risk professional needs to know what to do in the event they are faced with an immediate situation. This toolkit is designed to assist with both.
ASHRM’s risk assessment looks at the following proactive and reactive areas:
- Patient-to-Staff Violence: proactive prevention, reactive response
- Visitor/Family-to-Staff Violence: proactive prevention, reactive response
- Staff-to-Staff Violence/Harassment: proactive prevention, reactive response
- Physician/Third-Party-Professional-to-Staff Violence/Harassment: proactive prevention, reactive response
- Stranger/Nonemployee-to-Staff Violence: proactive prevention
