It is essential to know the physical signs of potential workplace violence as well. When a person has the potential to be violent, body language can speak louder than words in several situations. Though most are not aware, in most cases, there are tell-tale signs that one will commit a violent act, whether through words, body language, or strange behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
