More than 56 percent of workplace homicides occur in retail and service industries. As the economy continues to shift toward the service sectors, fatal and nonfatal assaults will be an increasingly important occupational safety and health issue. Workplace Violence and You, on Wednesday, October 18, will show how understanding the complexities of workplace violence is the key to overcoming the problem. This session addresses how to identify rage buildup, how to cope with it, and how to prevent it. A related professional development seminar on Thursday, October 19, addresses how to Control Conflict, Confrontation and Emotions for a Safer Workplace.
Conflict is inevitable.
Anger, grudges, hurt and blame are not. More than 800 national and international manufacturers will display new industrial and consumer safety and health products and services. The National Safety Council is a nonprofit, international membership organization dedicated to protecting lives and promoting health.
