Introduction: Workplace Violence is the second leading
cause of work-site deaths in the United States according to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, and is one of the most frightening
exposures companies face. Such an incident can devastate a company,
destroying its bottom line and even threatening it survival.
Workplace Violence Expense Insurance will help you prepare for an
unthinkable event like this if it should happen at your facility.
Here are some of the reasons why your facility should consider
buying workplace violence expense insurance:
· The expenses
incurred in the aftermath of a workplace violence incident are
often staggering and unforeseen
· Unexpected
expenses can stem from crisis management, independent security,
employee counseling, public relations, medical care for employees,
salaries for victim employees and for replacement employees and
loss of business income
· Long term care
facilities are at an increased risk of workplace violence because
they deal with members of the public and operate late at night
