Workplace Violence Prevention

While the risk is real, there are methods public agency employers can adopt to both prevent and protect employees from workplace violence, as well as protect the members of the public they interact with.

The Workplace Violence Prevention guide describes these methods further, including establishing leadership commitment, how to perform an assessment of a current violence prevention program, ways to strengthen program elements, communicating the program to all affected employees, and including continuous improvement of the program to help ensure worker protection.

The Workplace Violence Prevention guide is an exclusive resource for members of PRISM. A password is required to access the manual. Members, please contact PRISM's Risk Control Department at (916) 850-7300 for assistance.
