Why Workplace Violence Prevention Matters

Workplace violence is a growing concern across a wide range of sectors, particularly for those with public-facing roles, lone workers, and high-risk environments. Employers have a legal and moral responsibility to protect their teams – especially in the face of increasing incidents.

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) 2022/23 report:

• 649,000 incidents of violence at work
• 41% of those incidents resulted in injury
• 62% of offenders were strangers; others included clients or members of the public
• Roles in protective services, healthcare, and social care are among the most at risk
• Alcohol and drugs were contributing factors in a significant portion of cases

These statistics emphasise the need for employers to take proactive, preventative action to safeguard staff, particularly lone and vulnerable workers.

What’s Included in the Workplace Violence Prevention Checklist?

Our downloadable checklist will help you:

• Conduct a workplace violence risk assessment
• Identify roles and environments at increased risk
• Evaluate control measures, from incident reporting to lone worker procedures
• Outline your escalation and incident response plans
• Create a safer environment through ongoing training and communication

Whether you're developing a violence prevention policy or reviewing your existing health and safety procedures, this free tool is designed to make the process easier and more effective.
