Workplace violence has emerged as a critical safety and health hazard.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has labeled workplace violence a "significant" public health issue.
• The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has declared workplace homicide an "epidemic."
• The FBI has stepped up efforts to investigate occurrences of violence in the workplace.
• The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is considering regulations that would mandate employers to provide protection from the threat of workplace violence, and is currently prosecuting under the General Duty Clause. (This clause requires employers to maintain a workplace that is free from known threats.)
Statistical research would seem to indicate that incidents of workplace violence are not only increasing in number, but are becoming more violent in nature.
The NIOSH report indicates that approximately assaults and acts of violence were responsible for 13% of workplace fatalities in 2006, of which 9% were attributable to homicide. Rates of homicides in the workplace are following a general downward trend ever since the 1994 high of 1,080. A higher percentage of fatal work injuries to women resulted from homicides than for men.
Over 5 percent of all establishments experienced an incident of workplace violence in the last year. While one-third reported a negative impact on employees, only 10 percent changed their policy after the incident; almost 9 percent had no program or policy.
• Half of establishments employing 1,000 or more workers reported an incident of workplace violence in the previous 12 months. 52 percent of State government workplaces reported an incident of co-worker violence.
