Littler Mendelson PC recently issued the following announcement.
The recent tragic mass shootings in the U.S. have left employers grappling with questions as to what measures they should take - or are legally obligated to take - to keep employees safe from harm in the workplace. Under the federal Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), all employers have a general duty to provide a safe workplace for employees.
Littler Shareholders Terri Solomon and Adam Fiss, national authorities on assisting employers in preventing workplace violence, discuss steps that employers can take, including:
- What policies and practices should employers have in place to increase awareness, recognition and reporting of actual or potential incidents of workplace violence?
- What are some warning signs of workplace violence?
- How do employers assess the risk and deploy measures that are proportionate?
- Should all employers now conduct active shooter training?
