Workplace Violence Prevention Program  

Violence in the workplace may seem random or unforeseeable, but experts say this is not the case. Many agree that people who eventually commit workplace violence almost always broadcast their intentions before the incident. The SAM Workplace Violence Prevention Program teaches individuals the techniques they need to resolve conflicts decisively and diplomatically regardless of age, size or strength. These valuable skills and strategies to prevent and diffuse aggressive behavior allow management and employees alike to recognize and respond appropriately to the warning signs associated with violence in the workplace. Coupled with response procedures and responsibility guidelines, these techniques and tools provide a comprehensive training solution that will result in more favorable outcomes, including fewer injuries, reduced liability, better control and increased peace of mind.
