Workplace Safety Tips:
Recap
Workplace Safety Tips: Recap of workplace harassment, bullying, crimes of passion, and personal safety tips.
Safety in the workplace requires:
• Defusing a conflict by calmly finding out what the other person wants,
not blaming others or calling names, and working together to create
options that will satisfy both parties.
• Not humiliating or challenging anyone if tempers flare anyway.
• Never ignoring any threat. Threats (by an unarmed person) are
expressions of intent to inflict harm – almost always made by someone
desperately distraught.
• Building a safety net before you need it.
