According to the Occupational Safety and Health Association, 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.
