1 Workplace Violence Prevention (406) Dear Laura, It s time to remove the kid gloves. It s my option to make your life miserable if that is what you really want. I told you if I get fired or lose my clearance, I can force you to go out with me. You asked me what I could do, Kill you? The answer to that was + still is No. If I killed you, you would not be able to regret what you did. I have your parents address, so what if you run, I m ready to follow. I m selling my houses; I have closed my retirement fund, sold my stock. I can go real quick. Let s say you don t back down + pretty soon I crack under the pressure + run amok, destroying everything in my path until the police catch me + kill me. Take Care, Rick Today s agenda: What is workplace violence or aggression, how can it manifest itself, and who can commit it? When is workplace violence committed? What are the signs? How can you prevent workplace violence? What if you cannot prevent violence? 1
2 Definition: Workplace Violence: Any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening disruptive behavior that occurs at the work site. A workplace may be any location, either permanent or temporary, where an employee performs any work-related duty. Who Can Be Vulnerable?

3 When Can WPV Occur? Times of low staffing Mealtimes Visiting hours Patient transportation Sources By strangers No relationship to the worker; intent is to commit robbery or other violent act; victim is outside the traditional workplace setting By customers/clients Customers who are inherently violent Customers who become violent due to situation Situations that put employees at risk Sources continued.. By co-workers Perpetrator in the workplace Supervisor/employee & between co-workers By personal relations Current or former spouse or partner who enters the workplace with intent to harm 3
4 Healthcare Sources Patients Residents Mentally or emotionally disturbed people Drug addicts Family/friends of patients or clients Triggers Economic or Financial Pressures Insensitive Terminations More of a case of HOW the layoff, RIF or termination was handled Failing to allow employee to maintain dignity during or after termination Triggers continued... Rigid, authoritarian management style Cited as the #1 reason why employees leave their employer. Makes employees feel insignificant, stifles creativity Lack of discipline Ignoring bad behavior only enforces it Creates sense of entitlement to job makes harder to terminate later 4
5 more Triggers Breakdown of institutions Family, home, church, community are not the support systems they used to be Glamorization of violence Media Romantic failure Rejection and finally, more Triggers Overcrowded waiting room Involuntary patient admission Long waits for service Extreme stress or serious personal problems Corporate Security Threats 1.

Make Termination Complete No Gradual Separations Do Not Negotiate Meeting is to Inform Employee Only Prepare Script of Points You Want to Cover Let Employee Vent Boomerang Line This is not the time to rehash the past; we have to work on the future. Again remember to maintain a courteous manner during the meeting 12
13 Prevention Tips with Terminations continued. Post-Employment Inquiries What would you like us to tell callers about where to reach you? Inform employee what information you will provide prospective employers Be Direct Simply inform employee that decision to terminate has been made don t sugar coat Prevention Tips with Terminations continued. Describe Decision in General Terms It s best for both parties. Present situation is not serving either party. Don t lecture or try to improve employee at this point Time it Right Terminate at end of workweek if possible Allows cooling-off period Prevention Tips with Terminations continued. Choose Your Setting Use room out of view of other employees If possible, use neutral location, e.g. conference room, empty office Allow an easy exit 13
14 Prevention Tips with Terminations continued. Choose Your Cast Include someone in management the employee respects or admires Do not Include Armed Security Guards Local Police Big Ed from the Loading Dock Responding to Threats Value of Threats Determined by Reaction Never show a high appraisal of person s words and never show fear I understand you are upset, but the things you are talking about are not your style. I know you are far too reasonable and have too good a future to even consider such things. Responding to Threats Give Employee an Out We all say things when we react emotionally; I ve done it myself. I know you ll feel different tomorrow. 14
15 Responding to Threats Do Not Counter-threat Example, Oh, yeah? Well I ll have the cops on you the minute you try it! They engage the threatener and put you on his playing field You want opposite to disengage employee and play by your rules Decide if Anyone Needs to be Notified of Possible Risk What To Do If The Violence Cannot Be Prevented Run away if possible Signal a co-worker Back away and put obstacles between you and the attacker Active Shooter/Violence Basics- Coping Stay aware of environment and any possible dangers Be aware of the two exits nearest to you If unsafe to flee, stay in the office you are in, and secure the door. Only try to take the attacker down as a last resort. 15
16 Active Shooter/Violence Basics- Response RUN: Have an escape route and plan in mind Leave your belongings behind Keep your hands visible. CALL 911 WHEN SAFE Active Shooter/Violence Basics- Response HIDE: Hide in an area out of view of the attacker Block entry to where you are hiding and lock door Silence your cell phone Active Shooter/Violence Basics- Response FIGHT: This should only be as a last resort and your life is in imminent danger Attempt to incapacitate the attacker Act with physical aggression, throw objects at the attacker 16
17 How To Respond When Law Enforcement Arrives Remain calm, follow instructions Drop anything you have in your hands Raise hands, spread fingers How To Respond When Law Enforcement Arrives Keep your hands visible at all times Avoid quick movements towards law officers Avoid pointing, screaming, yelling Video Resource RUN-HIDE-FIGHT General information: Healthcare-specific information: 17
