• Workplace Violence Workshop Scheduled for 24 January 2013

---

“ The issue of workplace violence manifests itself most often in the form of threats exchanged between fellow employees, aggressive acts and actual assaults, has unfortunately, become part of today’s world of work. Recognizing warning signs and the ability to ease tense situations can make a difference, as attendees of a Jan. 24 “Workplace Violence” workshop being sponsored by the Connecticut Department of Labor’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (CONN-OSHA), will learn. The session, which will run from 10 a.m. until noon, will be held in Conference Rooms A, B, C. The free, two‐hour interactive workshop is open to Connecticut employers, will take place at the Department of Labor’s Wethersfield Central Office, located at 200 Folly Brook Boulevard, Wethersfield. “Contrary to common misconceptions, most instances of workplace violence do not result in fatalities,” explains John Able, CONN-OSHA Training Officer. “But, even incidents without assaults or physical injuries can devastate the sense of personal security that people once felt at their place of employment. Our Jan. 24 workshop is designed to make you more aware of the issues related to workplace violence and to provide you with the tools to help manage, defuse and prevent it.” To register for the workshop, or for additional information, please contact, John Able, CONN-OSHA Training Officer via email at able.john@dol.gov.
