Workplace Violence Prevention Poster | WWC

Workplace violence, including physical assault, threats, or verbal abuse, can occur in offices, retail storefronts, parking lots, field jobsites, and even during commutes. Under OSHA’s General Duty Clause (29 USC § 654(a)(1)), employers must provide a workplace “free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm.” This obligation extends to preventing foreseeable violence.

The WorkWise Compliance Preventing Workplace Violence Poster supports this duty by providing essential guidance, including warning signs, risk factors, preventive measures, and emergency instructions.
