WorkSafe Webinars

BIT/threat teams are central to any workplace violence prevention plan. These multi-disciplinary teams (beyond HR and security) meet regularly to review potential concerns that occur and develop risk mitigation plans. We will share how these teams operate and discuss WVPA standards developed for workplace teams. A review of several case studies using our Pathways-HR expert system will help participants understand the utility of this approach.

The news media projects the idea those with mental illness pose some of the biggest threats when it comes to violence. This simply is not true. Join us as we share some practical advice and guidance when it comes to understanding mental illness in the workplace from both psychological and law enforcement perspectives.

Those posing a threat may be an employee or supervisor in the workplace (insider) or someone from outside the workplace carrying out an attack at your location (outsider). We will offer examples of these types of violence and discuss what risk factors should be included in any workplace violence prevention plan. Checklists will be provided and we will review case examples using the Pathways-HR and DarkFox Violence Risk Assessment Systems.

Part of the workplace violence prevention plan includes attending to potential domestic and intimate partner violence that may come into the workplace. We will share with you some of this practical research in this space and stress the importance of early awareness, reporting. and developing a risk mitigation plan.
