Workplace Violence Prevention & Safety for Small California Employers

Start with a free 15-minute compliance & safety audit for your organization.

If your small California organization's employees interact with the public, you must have a workplace violence prevention plan that actually works in practice, and not just on paper. Keep your employees safer, protect your organization, reduce liability risk, and regulatory exposure.

Most of my clients are large enough to face real workplace violence and liability risk, but small enough that they don’t have a full-time internal security or compliance team.

Together we'll assess where you're at, and if needed, discuss whether a focused workshop or 3-month implementation program is the best fit.

Workplace Violence Has Changed. Has Your Prevention Plan?

About Mike Corwin

Over the last 30 years, I’ve investigated violent incidents from multiple angles:

  • Bringing cases against organizations where violence occurred.
  • Defending individuals in criminal cases.
  • Conducting internal workplace investigations after threats and assaults.

I understand how violence actually develops, how it can be prevented, what plaintiff attorneys and regulators look for, and what organizations are expected to do before and after an incident.

For more than a decade I’ve provided workplace violence prevention and personal safety training to small businesses, medical and legal professionals, engineers, contractors, manufacturers, judges, court administrators and their staff, and even the staff of a United States senator.

I learned about personal safety while working in dangerous places, and workplace violence prevention through investigating real world violent incidents.

And I shared what I learned by serving as a regular guest instructor on investigations at UNM Law School, and at dozens of workshops for legal professionals and for business organizations. I also taught personal safety & self-defense for well over a decade.

I've been fortunate to have been able to mix my two passions, helping people who are going through a difficult time, and helping people be safe from violence.
