Preferred term

workplace violence in the United States  

Definition(s)

  • Workplace violence has always existed in the United States—indeed, during some periods of our history, fear, intimidation, and physical violence were commonplace in work settings. Contemporary expectations in industrialized democracies, however, are that all workers are entitled to a workplace free from recognized hazards.
