Preventing Workplace Violence Practice Test

Which statement is NOT an appropriate policy statement to convey in a violence protection program?

The policy focuses only on acts of physical violence The policy outlines reporting procedures for threats Harassment and threats are unacceptable The policy clarifies that harassment and threats will be addressed

Correct Answer:

The policy focuses only on acts of physical violence

Explanation:

A comprehensive violence protection program must address a broad range of harmful behaviors, not just physical acts. While physical violence is a serious concern, threats, harassment, and intimidation can create an unsafe workplace just as effectively. Saying the policy focuses only on physical violence leaves those non-physical risks unregulated and unaddressed, which undermines prevention and response efforts. In contrast, including reporting procedures for threats helps employees seek help promptly, and stating that harassment and threats are unacceptable and will be addressed reinforces a clear standard of workplace safety. Those elements support a proactive, whole-person protection approach, making them appropriate parts of the policy.
