Keep all your employees educated on handling potentially disruptive and even dangerous threats from co-workers.

Think about it. Every workday across Canada 50 workers are attacked and another 3.500 harassed. Several workers are victims of homicide – at work – annually. Approximately 150,000 assaults and threats of violence occur in the workplace each and every year.
