"Nearly two million Americans report they've been victims of violence at work," said Whitmore. "All employers have a duty to protect their employees and provide them with a workplace free from hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm."
"Due to the rise of active shooter events in schools and workplaces in the past decade, workplace violence preparedness is now more important than ever," said Agnich. "While we can't predict when or where the next incident will occur, we can prepare a response in advance that can save lives."
"Episodes of violence on a college campus have a deleterious impact on the campus and community," said Schwartz. "These incidents need to alert us to the importance of identifying people who need help."
"According to the National Institute for Prevention of Workplace Violence, Inc., so far in the 21st century, an average of 552 work-related homicides occurred annually in the United States," said McShane. "It is vital for public and private organizations to come together to help prevent workplace violence."
