Mike Corwin spent 30 years working in dangerous locations, and conducted numerous investigations into violent incidents, learning from his experience how violence occurs, and how it can be prevented.

โ Employees who feel safe at work have lower turnover and absenteeism rates. That means lower costs and productivity disruptions. Saving you time and money, since you won't need to replace, hire, and train, new employees.
โ Lower liability and workers' compensation insurance premiums.
โ You protect your business from lawsuits, and regulatory fines.
โ You maintain a great reputation in the community, where customers and clients want to work with you.

This is the most important, yet least understood, of California's requirements, as it provides the knowledge and skills your employees need to keep safe from violence from any of the 4 source types of workplace violence.

What happens if you get workplace violence prevention wrong?
โ Regret. As someone who cares about your employees, seeing one or more of them be physically and emotionally harmed by an act of violence can cause you deep, and long lasting, feelings of regret.
โ A single serious incident of workplace violence can be costly to your business and your employees. A serious incident of workplace violence can cost you $150,000-$225,000 or more in medical costs, legal fees, Cal/OSHA fines, lost productivity, and decreased revenue.
โ Medical costs and lost work alone can cost you $40,000 or more.
โ When an employee quits over workplace violence, that turnover can cost 1-2xs an employee's salary to hire and train a new employee to take her position, and it can take six months before that new employee is fully productive, easily costing your business $50,000-$60,000.
โ Cal/OSHA fines for a single significant incident of workplace violence can cost you $25,000 plus another $14,000 in regulatory fines.ย
โ A significant incident can lead to six months of decreased revenue and profit.
โ And increase your liability and workers' comp insurance premiums by as much as 50%
