Each year, almost two million American workers become victims of violent crime while at work. Some estimates place the annual cost to US companies as high as 36 billion dollars. The prevention of workplace violence should be a high priority for every business that values its employees as well as continuity and sustainability of their business. In addition, a recent study indicated that 40% of businesses that experience a significant business disruption go out of business. The cornerstone of a strong program to prevent workplace violence starts with having a well thought out and comprehensive workplace violence prevention policy.
