Workplace accidents, homicides, suicides, death of a team member due to long-term illness, down sizing or company restructuring are traumatic events leaving their mark not just on the people directly affected, but also on those who witness or know people affected by the incident. The emotional toll associated with a critical incident involving death, serious injury or threat to one’s physical safety can last for weeks.
No workplace is exempt; however, OSHA statistics reveal significant injuries resulting from assault disproportionately affect the healthcare and social services sectors, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics notes workplace violence occurs more frequently for individuals employed in the retail, transportation and protective service occupations.
