Violence in the Workplace–The Role of the Facility Manager (.PDF) NEW!
As the title implies, this guide was written with the facility manager and property owner in mind.  This perspective has been seriously neglected, as the majority of workplace violence publications see the issue as a human resources matter.  By reading this publication, you will see that the facility manager and/or property owner can have a significant impact on the prevention, response and recovery from workplace violence.  In addition to information about previously mentioned topics, the guide contains over 30 pages of functional tools that can be used as is, or modified to fit your specific needs.
