Workplace Violence Prevention And Intervention Standard (200X)

Provides an overview of general security policies, processes, and protocols that organizations can adopt to help prevent threatening behavior and violence affecting the workplace and better respond to and resolve security incidents involving threats and episodes of actual violence. Standard presents practical definitions of workplace violence that includes a continuum of problematic behavior, and that classifies incidents based on the relationship of perpetrator to victim. It outlines security prevention and intervention strategies as well as the procedures for detecting, investigating, managing and addressing threatening behavior or violent episodes that occur in a workplace or in association with it or its employees. Standard is based on the ASIS International Workplace Violence Prevention and Response Guideline.

WVPI Working Groups have been formed and are meeting regularly to develop the draft standard.
