Description

Reported rates of Workplace violence are currently as high as they have ever been. Understanding what workplace violence is, how to become aware of the escalating behaviors and then creating a de-escalation plan can positively impact your ability to prevent it. Many states have recognized this increase and passed legal requirements for assessing risk, training, reporting, and responding to violence in the workplace. This course will lay some groundwork to help you prepare should your state decide to require training.
