Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - At-risk terminations : protecting employees, preventing disaster

Notas: Workplace violence costs to American businesses have risen dramatically over recent years, from 4.2 billion dolar in 1992 to an estimated 121 billion dolar in 2002. At the same, companies are turning a blind eye to workplace violence prevention policies and termination procedures. A 2004 survey conducted by the American Society of Safety Engineers showed only 1% of companies hace a written policy addressing violence in the workplace, while only 50% have procedures to notify management of threats. Perhaps the most chilling statistic was that 74 % of the 755 members surveyed said their organizations had not yet conducted a formal risk assessment of the potential for violent acts in their workplace. In addition, little or no workplace violence avoidance training is being provided to employeesRegistros relacionados: En: Risk management. - New York. - Vol.52, nº 5, May 2005 ; p. 28-33Materia / lugar / evento: Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Trabajadores Violencia Prevención de riesgos Riesgo laboral Estados Unidos Otros autores: Kane, Doug
