Workplace Violence is now the third leading cause of occupational death and the fastest growing type of homicide in the U.S. It is now becoming even a greater problem with the potential for workplace terrorism.

Between 850 and 1000 people are murdered on the job each year - that's about 3 murders per day. It is estimated that some two million workers are victims of physical attack each year and six million are threatened.

The cost of Workplace Violence is about $4 Billion annually – including property damage, lost productivity, lost sales and negligence lawsuits.

The causes, of course, are many and varied – from potential issues (in the case of terrorism) to the hierarchical supervisors that don’t listen or communicate, to downsizing and reorganization, jobs moving to the third world, unfair treatment of employees, employee stress, rapid organizational change, social issues (drugs, alcohol, family problems), etc.

Employers can be held liable for Workplace Violence when it can be shown there was negligent hiring, negligent retention and/or inadequate safeguards to provide a “safe and healthful workplace” (OSHA directive).
