9 Definition of Workplace Violence Workplace violence means any act of violence or threat of violence that occurs at the work site. The term workplace violence shall not include lawful acts of self-defense or defense of others. Workplace violence includes the following: (A) The threat or use of physical force against an employee that results in, or has a high likelihood of resulting in, injury, psychological trauma, or stress, regardless of whether the employee sustains an injury; (B) An incident involving the threat or use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon, including the use of common objects as weapons, regardless of whether the employee sustains an injury; 9
10 Types of Violence Type 1 violence (unknown/criminal intent) means workplace violence committed by a person who has no legitimate business at the work site, and includes violent acts by anyone who enters the workplace with the intent to commit a crime. Type 2 violence (clients/patients/those accompanying) means workplace violence directed at employees by customers, clients, patients, students, inmates, or visitors or other individuals accompanying a patient. Type 3 violence (employee to employee) means workplace violence against an employee by a present or former employee, supervisor, or manager. Type 4 violence (personal relationship) means workplace violence committed in the workplace by someone who does not work there, but has or is known to have had a personal relationship with an employee.
11 Useful Data Analyze the existing data that is reported at the hospital to establish a baseline for the number, frequency, and location of potential and real incidents. Code Gray or Silver activity reports Security Reports/Daily Summaries CrimeCast/CAP Report Employee Injury Logs Occurrence Reports 11
12 Examples These are examples of familiar plans and policies that may exist. Compare and use documents to foster further development of the Workplace Violence Plan.
