Site Evaluations


OSHA and other regulatory agencies recommend complete evaluations of the organizations' site(s) as the first step in determining the need for specific security and/or safety features. OSHA states, "Worksite analysis involves a step-by-step common sense look at the workplace to find existing or potential hazards for workplace violence. This entails reviewing specific procedures or operations that contribute to hazards and specific locales where hazards may develop." OSHA therefore suggests the following:


Analyzing and tracking records of problems or incidents


  • Reviewing medical, safety, workers comp and insurance records
  • Scanning unit logs and employee and police reports of incidents
  • Tabulating the data to target frequency and severity of incidents

Monitoring trends and analyzing incidents


  • Contacting similar businesses, associations, etc., to learn of their incidents
  • Tracing trends of injuries and incidents of actual or potential violence

Screening surveys


  • Giving employees questionnaires to get their ideas of potential problems
  • Pinpoint tasks that put employees at risk
  • Identify new or previously unnoticed risk factors and deficiencies
  • Assessing the effects of changes in the work processes

Analyzing workplace safety and security


  • Analyzing incidents, assailants, victims and the environment
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of existing safety and security measures
