The announcement of the white paper came today at the RIMS 2011 Annual Conference in Vancouver.
“In the United States, approximately 2 million people are victims of workplace violence every year,” says Robert Bowman, author of the white paper and Corporate Risk Control Specialist, PMA Companies. “How well an organization understands their potential risk, develops a plan to respond to events and implements the appropriate measures in a crisis will impact the severity of the loss.”
Topics addressed in the white paper include:
· Eight red flags that indicate a facility may be at risk
· Ten job tasks/conditions that increase the potential for violence to occur
· Recommendations on how to develop an action plan to prevent risk, including enhancements for the employee selection process
· Key steps to designing a workplace violence prevention plan
The white paper is part of an educational series, PMA Insights. PMA Companies is one of the nation’s leading authorities in workers’ compensation, and has been focused on making workplaces safer for employees for 95 years.
