“Fine Art, War and Peace” 2014 / U.S. Air Force art by Staff Sgt. Jamal D. Sutter

Last year ASIS International announced a new revision cycle for its standard — Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention.   It is a revision and re-designation of an 2011 standard developed jointly with the Society of Human Resource Management.

From the project prospectus:

Scope: Standard provides an overview of policies, processes, and protocols that organizations can adopt to help prevent threatening behavior and violence affecting the workplace and better respond to and resolve security incidents. Standard describes the implementation of a Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention Program, and protocols for effective incident management and resolution. Standard also includes an annex on Active Assailants which provides actionable information and guidance relative to prevention, intervention, and response to incidents involving an active assailant/active shooter. It describes security design considerations, security protocols and response strategies as well as the procedures for detecting, assessing, managing, and neutralizing immediately life-threatening behavior intended or perpetrated by an active assailant/active shooter, either acting alone or in a group.

Project Need: Workplace violence, in its many forms, presents one of the most challenging security and personnel safety problems that an organization can face. This standard provides information and practical methods that will enable an organization to develop an effective and informed approach to prevention, intervention and response, including incidents involving active assailants.

Stakeholders: Organizations of all sizes and types: Human resources, legal counsel, business owners, and executive level managers;  occupational safety and health personnel; union leaders; employee assistance programs; law enforcement; clinicians and service providers in the mental health field; insurers and practitioners who specialize in threat management and violence prevention; public relations/corporate communications and risk management and crisis management professionals; professional security practitioners and consultants; risk and resilience management practitioners; the global business community; not-for-profit organizations and foundations; educational institutions; government agencies and organizations.

Revisions were completed and the 2020 edition is listed on the ASIS standards bibliography:

Standards and Guidelines

For the 2020 revision, the work is done.  We have added this document to our tracking algorithm and maintain it on the standing agenda of our periodic Security and Risk teleconferences.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

We encourage our colleagues responsible for workspace safety in education communities to participate in the ASIS standards development process by communicating directly with Alexandria Virginia, Aivelis Opicka, standards@asisonline.org, (703) 518-1517.
