How To
How to Prepare for Workplace Violence
While you can't always predict and prevent workplace violence, you can plan to limit its impact
By Scott Berinato
9. Stay vigilant. If the person is an employee, revoke his workplace access privileges. Cancel access cards and network accounts. Inform other tenants in the building of the incident; include a picture if possible. Brief guards at entrance gates and also surveillance staff so that they'll be on the lookout. In most cases, time calms down the angry person, so if you've made it this far without violence, chances are there will be none. But in a few cases, a desperate person will plan a return. If that happens, the more prepared you are, the better.
