Hallmarks Of An Unsafe Workplace
In many cases, workplace violence does not just arise out of the blue. There are usually warning signs and escalating behaviors that indicate potential danger. Employers have a duty to provide a safe workplace, which includes taking steps to prevent and respond to threats of violence.
If you have been subjected to any of the following behaviors, you should speak to a lawyer as soon as possible:
- Harassment
- Verbal or physical threats
- Damaging rumors
- Intimidating behaviors
- Physical assault
- Brandishing weapons
- Other hostile conduct
If you reported these behaviors and your employer failed to take adequate steps to protect you, you may be entitled to compensation. Likewise, if your employer retaliated against you for reporting threats of workplace violence, you may have legal recourse.
