| THE REALITIES OF VIOLENCE AT WORK |
Violence in the workplace is a reality, according to a National Crime Victimization Survey, two million
assaults and threats of violence against Americans at work occur annually. The most common type of
workplace violence was the assault with an average of 1.5 million a year. There were 390,000 aggravated
assaults, 51,000 rapes and sexual assaults, 84,000 robberies, and 1,000 homicides reported. These
figures in most cases are much lower than the actual number of incidents reported by employees or
employers.
The toll of workplace violence on industry and personnel is sobering. According to the Workplace
Violence Research Institute the estimated cost of workplace violence to U.S. is $36 billion per year. Costs
include medical and psychiatric care, lost business and productivity, facility repairs and clean-ups, higher
insurance rates, increased security costs, and worst of all, the loss of valued employees. In addition
business owners are increasingly being held liable for not making their premises safe for employees and
customers.
Potential areas of workplace violence related litigation that should concern employers include civil actions
for negligent hiring, workers compensation, third party claims for damages, invasion of privacy actions, and
occupational safety and health administration violation charges and fines.
