N2  - INTRODUCTION: The risk of workplace violence varies depending on the type and location of the business. Business managers should assess violence risk and develop a program based on the level of risk faced by their employees. DISCUSSION: This assessment should include: (1) a review of workplace security and identification of positions with increased risk of exposure to violence, (2) risk reduction through environmental design and employee training, (3) development of a plan and identification of professional resources to respond to incidents should they occur, and (4) communication of the employer?s commitment to providing a safe work environment for employees. CONCLUSIONS: For most businesses, threat assessment and management comprise the cornerstone of a workplace violenceñprevention program. Planning and preparation are key to workplace violence prevention. (Abstract Adapted from Source: American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2001.
