According
to OSHA, the facts are clear. Workplace violence,
assaults, verbalization of threats, sabotaging
equipment, stealing property for revenge and emotionally-charged
employees and customers are now part of the American
work scene.
The
potential impact of a workplace violence incident
is costly - particularly in terms of litigation,
lost productivity, business revenue, and diminished
image in the eyes of customers - and immeasurable
in terms of emotional turmoil, traumatic stress,
and, too often, injury and even loss of life.
Baron Center, Inc. is known internationally for
its pioneering work in violence prevention and
intervention. Considered a leader in providing
expert consultation and training, we are often
viewed as critical peacemakers for organizations
and their employees.
Our staff authored the first two books in the
country on workplace violence in the early 1990's
and we have since written over 18 books on this
important topic and related subjects.
We
are also respected practitioners in providing
practical violence prevention assistance to businesses,
government organizations, schools, universities,
and hospitals. Our staff is committed to reducing
fear and promoting a safe environment in the workplace
through:
•
Risk
Assessment
• Threat
Intervention
• Consultation
• Awareness
Training
• Site
Security Surveys
•
Health,
Safety & Security
•
Critical
Incident Counseling
With over two million people physically attacked
on their jobs last year, the lack of effective
procedures and training can have a significant
safety, financial and morale impact on an organization.
To help stop these assaults on work sites we offer
the following services:
Consultation
and Threat Assessment
We conduct risk assessments for threats to your
site or to individuals in your organization. Our
team of licensed psychologists, board certified
forensic experts, and previous law enforcement
professionals understands the important distinctions
between the disgruntled, the disturbed, and the
dangerous individual.
We
assess, recommend and intervene as appropriate
with sensitivity for safety, practicality and
expediency.
We assist with policy development for workplace
violence prevention, threat assessment, stalking,
domestic violence, personal safety, employment
terminations and organizational safety programs.
Site
Security Assessments
Information is power. When faced with a potentially
serious workplace security situation at your facility,
and a choice between knowing and not knowing,
it's best to know. In these troubled days, it
is more important than ever for your firm to have
a site vulnerability assessment.
We have created site security reports and provided
cost-effective security options for a number of
local and national companies and government agencies,
including: water utilities; offices and manufacturing
firms; general medicine and psychiatric hospitals;
schools, colleges and universities; City Halls;
insurance companies; courthouses; apartment buildings;
mayoral offices; law firms; churches and synagogues;
museums; and childcare centers.
We
can provide your organization with a complete
site vulnerability report; photos; security equipment
and policy recommendations; and even feedback
from our employee security survey questionnaire.
The Baron Center Site Security Survey Team will
be happy to discuss your facility, the safety
and security concerns of your employees, and your
on-going premise liability challenges. The old
saying, "What you don't know, won't hurt you,"
just doesn't apply any longer.
