April is Workplace Violence Awareness Month in the U.S., and with it comes the opportunity for employers to learn and refresh their workplace violence prevention plans.

OSHA defines workplace violence as any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening behavior that occurs at the work site, including verbal and physical.

Use this guide to brush up on workplace violence prevention and update your policies to prevent incidents, ensure compliance, and reduce liability.
