Workplace Violence Prevention & De-escalation

This course prepares employees, supervisors, and HR professionals to recognize, prevent, and safely respond to workplace violence. You will learn the four recognized types of workplace violence, the warning signs and pre-incident indicators that often precede an event, and how to contribute to a workplace violence prevention plan. The second module focuses on response: verbal and non-verbal de-escalation techniques, clear reporting and documentation practices, and trauma-informed support and investigation after an incident. Using realistic scenarios, the course helps you understand manager responsibilities and the reporting duties that keep a workplace safer, so you can act calmly and appropriately when tensions rise.
