16 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM Workplace violence is one of the leading causes of job-related deaths and has become a growing concern for both employers and employees nationwide. There are no specific standards at the federal level for workplace violence, however, the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the OSHA Act identifies that employers have a legal obligation to provide a workplace free of harm by teaching violence prevention. To reinforce my understanding of how workplace violence can be prevented, I have been trained in the following areas: An overview of workplace violence Public awareness OSHA guidelines Recent incidents Statistics The different types of workplace violence and the factors associated with those types. How to best prevent workplace violence Zero Tolerance Policy Environmental controls Administrative controls Behavioral controls Recognizing the signs of potentially violent behavior Overview of warning signs Levels of potential violence How to respond to threats of violence Recognizing the different types of assailants Cooperating with law enforcement I acknowledge that I have been trained on and fully comprehend all of the topics covered in the Workplace Violence Prevention training material. Additionally, I understand that if at any time I have questions about the company s workplace violence prevention policies or procedures or my responsibilities as it pertains to workplace violence prevention, I can contact our Company s designated Human Resource administrator. To ensure that your training history is updated, please PRINT your name clearly below. Employee Name (Print) Signature Date Keep a copy of this form for your records and return the original to your employer for placement in your personnel file.
