The Security Executive Council, with Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center, will facilitate a day and a half of expert-led sessions on workplace violence risk management for corporate security practitioners, cross-functional partners, and police and emergency responders.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020 there were more than 37,000 nonfatal workplace injuries inflicted intentionally by another person and nearly 400 workplace homicides. Healthcare workers are five times more likely to suffer workplace violence than workers in other industries. These numbers underline the criticality of strong cross-functional workplace violence prevention, preparedness, and response efforts in every organization.
