Workplace Violence Prevention in the Age of the "Active Shooter"

The recent tragic mass shootings in the U.S. have left employers grappling with questions as to what measures they should take - or are legally obligated to take - to keep employees safe from harm in the workplace. Under the federal Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), all employers have a general duty to provide a safe workplace for employees.

Littler Shareholders Terri Solomon and Adam Fiss, national authorities on assisting employers in preventing workplace violence, discuss steps that employers can take, including:

• What policies and practices should employers have in place to increase awareness, recognition and reporting of actual or potential incidents of workplace violence?
• What are some warning signs of workplace violence?
• How do employers assess the risk and deploy measures that are proportionate?
• Should all employers now conduct active shooter training?
