There are three parts to the Workplace

Violence Assessments:

1. General Physical Environment Assessment

2. Risk Factors

3. Assessments for Specific Risks

You are encouraged to involve workers, supervisors, joint health and safety committees,

health and safety representatives, and/or unions in this process. Your workplace violence

policy and program will be the better for it.

A SAFETY PLAN

• IDENTIFIES ACTIONS TO INCREASE THE WORKER SAFETY;

• IS PREPARED IN ADVANCE BASED ON THE POSSIBILITY

OF FURTHER VIOLENCE;

• NEEDS TO BE CREATED WITH THE AFFECTED EMPLOYEE

AS SHE KNOWS THE ABUSER’S PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR, THE HIGHER RISK TIMES, AND THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE

TO HER;

• SUGGESTS ACTIONS THAT THE WORKER AND EMPLOYER

CAN TAKE – IT DOESN’T DICTATE ABSOLUTE STEPS;

• RECOGNIZES THAT THE ABUSER’S BEHAVIOR CANNOT

BE CONTROLLED, BUT THAT THE PLAN MAY INCREASE THE

WORKER’S SAFETY, HER CO-WORKERS’ SAFETY, OR THE

SAFETY OF HER CHILDREN; AND

• IS FLUID – IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED REGULARLY AND

REVISED AS NEEDED TO RESPOND TO CHANGES.

A WORKPLACE SAFETY PLAN GENERALLY

WILL LOOK AT:

• INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES FOR THE VICTIM WHILE

AT WORK OR TRAVELLING TO AND FROM WORK (PANIC

BUTTONS, CALLER I.D., DOOR SECURITY, CODE WORDS, PHOTO OF ABUSER SUPPLIED TO SECURITY, ESCORTS TO

CAR OR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION)

• RECORD-KEEPING OPTIONS FOR POSSIBLE POLICE

EVIDENCE (E.G., THREATENING VOICE MAILS OR EMAILS)

• EMERGENCY CONTACT PERSON IF THE EMPLOYER IS

UNABLE TO REACH THE WORKER

• ALTERNATIVE WORK ARRANGEMENTS TO ADJUST THE

WORKER’S SCHEDULE OR LOCATION IN ORDER TO

INCREASE THE WORKER’S SAFETY
