Workplace Safety Tips:
Recap
Workplace Safety Tips: Recap of workplace harassment, bullying, crimes of passion, and personal safety in the workplace. Safety in the workplace requires:
Defusing a conflict by calmly finding out what the other person wants, not blaming others or calling names, and working together to create options that will satisfy both parties.
Not humiliating or challenging anyone if tempers flare nonetheless.
Never ignoring any threat. Threats (by an unarmed person) are expressions of intent to inflict harm almost always made by someone desperately distraught.
Building a safety net before you need it.
