Opis

Most books on workplace violence focus on psychological profiles. Schneid examines the issue from a safety/health professional's viewpoint, taking all angles, legal issues, and potential ramifications into account. Occupational Health Guide to Violence in the Workplace focuses on not only in-house efforts to prevent violent incidents, but also government and legal standards directly or indirectly related to worker's rights and corporate liability. He provides analyses of numerous incidents involving workplace violence. The book also covers developing a written compliance program, early warning signs, and includes checklists and action plans.
