Workplace Safety
Overview

Workplace safety involves everyday human behavior often simmering just below the boiling point of a violent eruption. One-third of all homicides are escalations of trivial squabbles arising among coworkers, neighbors, friends and family - killing dozens of people every day worldwide.

These killers are not predators hunting for prey, but human time-bombs on the verge of exploding into a rampage if ordinary events converge into a perfect storm. Witnesses usually claim afterward that the violence took everyone by surprise – but a closer look almost always reveals glaring warning signs that they and the victims had ignored. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.

Rampage shooters display the exact same warning signs whether it's in the workplace, school, shopping mall, or anywhere.

The 9/11 commission concluded that our "most important failure was one of imagination." We simply couldn't imagine something of that magnitude actually happening, and thus didn't take the necessary preventive steps.
Excerpted from an Atlanta Journal-Constitution editorial by Shaunti Feldhahn – 28 July 2004

Find the foresight to help you dodge the violent wrath of:
• coworkers with jobs, marriages, or egos in jeopardy becoming sullen, belligerent, and volatile;
• coworkers, friends, and relatives about to go over the edge;
• coworkers and neighbors feuding over such petty things as job duties, parking spaces, dog poop on the wrong lawn, and loud music. Or, scary neighbors who haven’t broken any laws yet.
