CHICO, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 14, 2011) - What is the ultimate tool employers have to prevent violence in the workplace? It is the front-line employee that normally sees the beginning stages of someone that is about to go "postal." Post incident investigations normally reveal that employees observed warning signs well in advance. The key to prevention is for businesses to understand and ascertain what their staff knows without making it difficult for staff to come forward.
John M. White, CPP, CHPA, President at Protection Management, LLC warns that these incidents of workplace violence will continue and their frequency will rise as the deteriorating economy and increasing unemployment rate create more stress on people. Recently White presented a webinar titled "Blowing Off Steam or Ready To Blow" and discussed the growing threat of workplace violence and what we need to do to inhibit this problem from reaching an epidemic magnitude.
White has developed a training program to help organizations reduce the risk of workplace violence. The program will teach management and staff to identify risk factors, defuse conflicts and confrontation, and in a worst case scenario -- how to manage and contain the crisis, and return to normal operations as soon as possible.
