Summary:
It is commonly found that organizations are unprepared to manage and respond to potential scenarios where employees proposed for separation may act out. There are multiple preventative processes and anecdotes, but there is not one prescriptive method to address an individual’s behavioral risk concerns at employment separation, which could result in violent harm to self or others. This tool is intended as a starting point to assist employers to proactively address separations. Given the absence of formal research into safe separations, empirical studies are ongoing. Consider this guide a living document which will be reviewed and updated as additional best practices surface.
Objectives:
There are four areas of consideration within workplace violence. These include:
1. Environmental factors (i.e. proximity to church, in high-crime area, work alone
condition, handles cash or valuable currency, hot environments, stressful work

2. Prevention approaches (i.e. training, policies, procedures and related).
3. Management approaches (i.e. threat assessment team, investigations and related).
4. Response measures (emergency preparedness, insurance crisis management,
communications and similar).
