According to OSHA, nearly 2 million American workers report having been victims of workplace violence each year. Unfortunately, many more cases go unreported. Research has identified factors that may increase the risk of violence for some workers at certain worksites. Such factors include exchanging money with the public and working with volatile, unstable people. Workplace violence is a risk every business must manage on a daily basis, and an exposure for which many are not prepared.
