In short

  • If you feel unsafe, do not go in, or leave. Call 911 if anyone is in danger; you will never be punished for calling.
  • Check in and out when visiting a home flagged as risky, and keep your phone charged and with you.
  • Report every threat or attack to your supervisor and fill out the workplace violence report the same day.
  • Incidents with injury, a weapon or an urgent threat are reported to the authorities within 24 hours.
  • You get interactive workplace violence training every year, and support after any incident.
