Workplace Safety and Security

Workplace Safety and Security Consulting Services

Some of the greatest risks faced by corporate management and human resources departments arise out of threats to workplace safety and security. These can include physical violence, threats, intimidation, harassment, vandalism, even identity theft or other critical information theft. Besides the company itself, they can impact employees, clients, and visitors. In the majority of cases, these incidents occur during or subsequent to the termination of a high-risk employee.

Beyond the possibility of tragedy or damaging business losses, legal and social mandates require that employers provide a safe work environment to their employees. A damaging criminal incident puts a company at great risk for legal liabilities, crippling lawsuits, and terrible publicity. The best plan is to have a solid plan in place beforehand, with well-defined policies and procedures.
