Workplace violence has
emerged as an important safety and health issue in today's
workplace. Its most extreme form, homicide, is the third-leading
cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States.
According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), there
were 674 workplace homicides in 2000, accounting for 11% of the
total 5,915 fatal work injuries in the United States.
Environmental conditions associated with workplace assaults have
been identified and control strategies implemented in a number
of work settings. OSHA has developed guidelines and
recommendations to reduce worker exposures to this hazard but is
not initiating rulemaking at this time.
