2 When I was bullied about two years ago it was my foreman, who caused me all the upset and pain. Why? To this day I ll never know. He would me feel small and make me cry and be very unkind and cruel to me. I get small bit of comfort that I was not the only one who was doing it to Dr. Mona O Moore Irish National Survey on Bullying, Trinity College, Dublin, 2000
3 Violence Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, mal-development or deprivation. (WHO, 2014) Work place Colleagues Clients World report on violence and health (2014)
4 Statistics UK ( ) - 53% of employees had been victims of workplace (WP) bullying and 78% had witnessed such behavior. ~ workers had experienced at least one incident of WP violence in the past year British Crime Survey recorded incidents of violence at work ( assaults and threats). New Zealand (2011) Massey University survey of 96 organizations found >50% had experienced WP violence (2466 cases). - 20% of cases reported involved physical injury cases led to hospitalization lost working days because of WP violence. Taiwan ( ) IOSH survey revealed that, - 13% suffered from heavy pressure in their work, - 24% had emotional problems - anxiety, depression, irritability, committed suicide, an average of two per day, making suicide the 4th largest cause of death among workers.
5 Statistics The U.S. Department of Labor survey of employers with >1000 workers revealed that more than 50% reported at least one incident of workplace violence in the past 12-months. The Allied Barton Security Services survey Violence in the American Workplace revealed that 52% of Americans have heard about, or had experienced a violent event at their workplace. OSHA states that nearly 2 million American workers are victims of workplace violence each year, though many cases are not reported. Finally, it s believed that workplace violence is related to low employee morale or low safety culture.
6 Occupational groups more at risk of WP violence Health Care Workers or those to dispense pharmaceuticals police, security, or correctional officers social services employees, incl. crisis intervention & counselling services teachers or education providers municipal housing inspectors public works employees retail employees sellers of alcohol (sale, or consumption on the premises) taxi drivers or transit drivers
7 Types of WP violence? Harassment any behaviour that demeans, embarrasses, annoys, humiliates, alarms or verbally abuses a person and that is known or would be expected to be unwelcome.

Bullying usually involves repeated incidents that is intended to intimidate, offend, degrade or humiliate a particular person or group of people. There is a "fine line" between strong management and bullying. 70,8% respondents believed that poor management style with yealousy, envy of the victim, an effort to force a resignation and the desire to get even being other strong reasons given. 34,2% of victims specified other reasons as staff shortages, new equipment with inadequate training and high-pressure industry. 27% respondents reported that bullying started after a change of manager; 20% and less - after change of job.

17 Examples of decisions of recognition or rejection PTSD diagnosis as a consequences of WP violence Example 1. Health Care Work A home help had for some years worked with a female patient who was paralysed on one side. Her spouse behaved very aggressively and threateningly in the home help s presence, hit and kicked at objects and knocked a first into the wall, right above the head of the home help. The medical specialist s certificate stated the diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The claim has qualified for recognition on the basis of the list. In her work, the home help experienced instances of a very aggressive behaviour on the part of a client s husband. She had developed symptoms of PTSD in relevant time correlation with the exposure. The claim was recognised and diagnosis was compensated as WRD. Kieffer, C What recognition of work-related mental disorders? A study report on 10 EU countries. Examples from the National Board of Industrial Injuries.
18 Not recognised claim of prison officer Example 2. Work as a prison officer A 50-year-old prison officer had worked for 20 years for the prisons. In this employment he was exposed to daily conflicts with the inmates, was threatened with broken glass and knives, and was kicked in the face in connection with an arrest. Well over 4 years leaving the job he had symptoms of a mental disease with nightmares and emotional complaints. The medical specialist established symptoms of a moderate traumatic stress condition. The claim was not qualify for recognition on the basis of list, and there were no grounds for submission of the claim to the Committee. The prison officer had psychologically vert stressful experiences from his work, but only developed mental symptoms after 4 years after cessation of work. There was no good time correlation between the exposure and the development of disease? Kieffer, 2012
19 Not-recognised clame after complaints and exposure to psychiatric patients violence Example 3. Psychiatric healthcare assistant A healthcare assistant had been employed in a psychiatric nursing home since 1978 on regular night duty. I later years he had been alone on night duty. Two incidents had been reported and recorded as accidents at work. In March 1992 a threatening and scolding patient kicked him. After this incident he had violent anxiety attacks and became weepy and afraid of the dark. In June 1992 he resumed work. In 1994 there were violent incidents with colleagues. He felt unwell again and started drinking. The claim was not recognised as OD. The event in 1992 was recognised as accident. In 1991 he developed symptoms of PTSD. He had relapse in 1994 in connection with violence with colleagues, which was complicated by alcohol consumption. There is no documentation of any relevant mental trauma in connection with the relapse. It should be assessed, however, whether the relapse might be attributable to the accidents. Also, the previous cases therefore should be reassessed. Kieffer, 2012
20 Statistics of recognised cases of mental damage Kieffer, 2012
21 How can bullying affect the workplace? Increased absenteeism Increased turnover Increased stress Increased costs for employee assistance programs and recruitment Increased risk for accidents or violence incidents Decreased productivity and motivation Decreased morale Reduced corporate image and customer confidence Poor customer service
