Workplace Violence

Workplace Violence has reached staggering proportions throughout America. Reports from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, and U.S. Department of Justice cite the occurrence of two million workplace violence crimes annually. The reports define workplace violence as violent acts against a person at work or on duty, including physical assaults and robbery. Data indicate that simple assault is most prevalent. The U.S Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics Workplace Violence Report for the years 1992-1996, estimates the following annual victimizations:

  • 1.5 million Simple Assaults,
  • 396,000 Aggravated Assaults,
  • 84,000 Robberies,
  • 51,000 Rapes/Sexual Assaults And
  • 1,000 Homicides

Like never before in American history, the workplace must provide an increasing level of security diligence and safety professionalism to insure that employees, visitors and clients are safe.
