Training and educating workers about workplace violence is one of the keys to preventing it. Here’s are nine unique and effective training scripts you can use to deliver important lessons about workplace violence to different personnel at your organization consisting of:

Tips to Prepare for Training Sessions
While preparing to deliver these Safety Talks:
- Carefully review your company’s workplace violence policy focusing on the procedures and protocols for reporting incidents and threats of violence.
- Come up with one or two scenarios that your trainees can act out as part of a simulation exercise illustrating how to call for help in violent situation.
- Identify the equipment your company provides for workers to summon help in the event of an emergency, such as special phones, silent alarms, etc.
