Workplace Violence 101 – 5 Lessons Learned

Acts of violence, whether in the form of active shooters, bomb threats, or other deadly weapon use, are covered by the media and presented as growing issues. The most recent being Wednesday night’s shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California. Businesses, education institutions and organizations must be concerned and educated with how to address these incidents.
