What Is Workplace Violence?

When people think about workplace violence, they often picture a current or former employee who suddenly snaps and brings a weapon to work. In reality, these kinds of episodes make up only a fraction of the violence perpetrated in the workplace. A large portion of workplace violence involves a third party, unconnected to the business and the victim, who comes in with the intent of committing a robbery or other crime.

In addition, a significant percentage of workplace violence involves intimidation, harassment, and threats. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, workplace violence is a “violent act directed toward persons at work or on duty,” including threats of assault, threatening behavior, and verbal abuse.
