\"Young<\/p>\n

Every year around 2 million American workers are victims of violence in the workplace. Workplace violence can range from threats and verbal abuse to physical attacks. Unfortunately many cases go unreported. It is important to be aware that no workplace or worker is immune to violence in the workplace, and if you are a victim, you need to report it right away.<\/p>\n

In order to protect yourself from workplace violence, it is important to report all concerns about safety and all suspicious persons, including coworkers, to your supervisor immediately. Other ways to prevent workplace violence include attending personal safety training programs to learn how to avoid and diffuse violent situations, and talking with your supervisor\/employer about implementing zero tolerance policies on workplace violence and starting a workplace violence prevention program.<\/p>\n

If you have already received threats in the workplace, or are already the victim of physical workplace violence, report it immediately to your supervisor and report the incident in writing. If your supervisor or employer does not act or the threat of further violence is serious, report it to the local police. Additionally, if you feel that you were the victim of violence in the workplace due to your employer violating the general duty clause of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, then you can file a complaint with OSHA at\u00a0http:\/\/osha.gov\/pls\/osha7\/eComplaintForm.html<\/a><\/p>\n
