WORKPLACE VIOLENCE QUESTIONNAIRE

The university’s zero tolerance policy on acts or threats of violence to employees, students and visitors was developed for the protection of the university community. Workplace violence includes, but is not limited to the following definition:

  • any act which is physically assaultive
  • any substantial threat to harm or to endanger the safety of others
  • behaviors or actions interpreted by a reasonable person as carrying the potential for violence and/or acts of aggression
  • any substantial threat to destroy property
  • possession on campus of any weapon or dangerous instrument (i.e., firearms, certain knives, brass or metal knuckles, etc)

The university has an obligation to provide awareness training on this subject and alert the campus community to the potential for violence when a department requests the training. This questionnaire will be used to determine what level of vulnerability and awareness your department has concerning workplace violence. It will be used to develop a training session specifically geared toward your concerns.
