Poll Results: Worker-on-Worker Violence Biggest Safety Concern

Workplace violence is one of the ‘newer’ safety hazards that the OHS laws require employers to take steps to address. But violence on the job can take many forms and thus may require different safety measures.

When we recently asked what type of violence you’re most concerned about in your workplace, you said:

  • Worker-on-worker violence (33.85%)
  • Violence by outsiders, such as clients (27.69%)
  • Active shooters (6.15%)
  • Terrorism (1.54%).

Interestingly, nearly 31% said they weren’t concerned about any type of violence in their workplaces. (See what results we got when we asked this question in 2012.)

For those of you most concerned about internal violence by workers against other workers, supervisors, etc., see:
