Answer to Question 1

About 1,000,000 individuals are the direct victims of some form of violent crime in the workplace every year. This represents approximately 15 percent of all violent crimes committed annually in America. Approximately 60 percent of these violent crimes were categorized as simple assaults by the Department of Justice.

Answer to Question 2

OSHA does publish voluntary guidelines that employers can use to help ensure a safe and healthy workplace free of violence. They were not designed for construction companies, but many of the guidelines will work for any type of employer. Two key points to understand about these guidelines are as follows:
 The guidelines are advisory in nature and informational in content. The guidelines do not add to or enhance in any way the requirements of the General Duty clause of the OSHAct.
 The guidelines were developed with service establishments in mind. Consequently, they have a service-oriented emphasis. However, much of the advice contained in the guidelines can be adapted for use in construction settings.
