A Team Approach
After completing the worksite analysis, the findings should be used to identify hazard prevention and control measures to reduce or eliminate workplace violence risks. The analysis should also help determine the need for appropriate training. As the team or coordinator identifies appropriate controls, they should be instituted.
The team should establish how often and under what circumstances worksite analyses should be conducted. For example, they may recommend a full assessment once a year, with additional reviews after any incident or near miss.
The team conducting the worksite analysis should regularly inspect the workplace and evaluate worker tasks to identify potential hazards, conditions, and situations that could lead to violence. Seeking input from independent experts—such as safety professionals, law enforcement, security specialists, or insurance auditors—can help strengthen the program. Their outside perspective can offer valuable insights for improvement.
The recommended program elements for worksite analysis includes, but is not limited to:
- Records review of procedures and operations for different jobs
- Employee and patient/client surveys
- Workplace security analysis
