There are several types of Workplace Violence incidents such as random attacks, criminal motives, domestic violence, sexual motives, business disputes, or employment issues.  The attacker could be external, such as a criminal intruder, stranger, customer, spouse, patient, or student.  On the other hand, the attacker could just as easily be internal, such as an employee or contractor.   “When the only measure in place is a zero tolerance policy and there is no training, no employee assistance program, no dispute resolution, etc, then there is no Workplace Violence Program in place and your organization is vulnerable,” according to John Posey, Corporate Security Services, Inc.  The purpose of the Northwest Workplace Violence Conference is not to create fear, anxiety or paranoia, but rather it is to level the playing field and provide the tools necessary to deal with the possibility of an unexpected threat of violence against employees.
