One of the most common forms of violence in the workplace is psychological. Bullying, intimidation, and verbal threats are the least reported but the most common forms of workplace violence. However, according to <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/resourcesandtools\/hr-topics\/risk-management\/pages\/fbi-active-shooter-work.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">FBI statistics<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, 80% of active shooter incidents occur in the workplace as well. Approximately\u00a02 million people a year are affected by some form of workplace violence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Workplace violence is not always about work-related issues. Most people assume that disgruntled workers are usually the culprit. However, that is not necessarily the case. As reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in two-thirds of workplace homicides, the attacker has no known personal relationship with the victims. Furthermore, most assailants who are employees commit workplace violence due to something else going on in their lives. Some of the more typical reasons for workplace violence are mental illness, drug abuse, divorce, or perceived personal failure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Close to half of all workplace violence happens in a public environment. It is virtually impossible to work on solving the issue of violence in the workplace when most companies do not see it as a problem. The estimated cost of a workplace homicide to the employer is a whopping $800,000.00. It is safe to say that it would be less expensive to take action against workplace violence. Moreover, did you know that 27% of businesses have experienced at least one violent workplace\u00a0incident within the last five years?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What are Some of the Indicators and Risk Factors for Violence in the Workplace?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6645 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_14_12.Still001-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_14_12.Still001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_14_12.Still001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_14_12.Still001-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.communityresponsesystems.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/TeamAlert_v2.00_00_14_12.Still001.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are several signs and risk factors for workplace violence.

As the gunman left the church, Stephen Willeford, an armed resident, confronted and shot the gunman. The gunman served in the Air Force from 2010 until 2014, when he had a bad conduct discharge due to assault toward his spouse and child.

Controlling the impact of an active shooter\u00a0involves many layers of security. Those layers can consist of an incident response plan, a <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/teamalert.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">panic button system<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, security staff, and surveillance cameras.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first step is to know what to do in those critical moments. The first minute of an active shooter incident is the most <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">important<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> moment of your <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">company&#8217;s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> emergency response. Training and being mentally prepared to take action in a crisis\u00a0can make a big difference. Furthermore, just knowing where all of the building exits and locking doors <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are located<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> can help boost a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">person&#8217;s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> survival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Moreover, there is no foolproof way to avert an active shooter incident. However, the speed and accuracy of the information <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">given<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in the initiated alert can contribute to a positive result. Additionally, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">there is new technology<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> available that enables mass notification to those who need to know about the crisis to increase the probability of a successful emergency response.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In conclusion, I encourage you and your staff to become familiar with <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> violence prevention and incident response plans <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">for your facility<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> An essential part of violence prevention is to utilize those policy resources when you feel it is necessary.
