MANAGING WORKPLACE VIOLENCE

Violence in the workplace has been a major problem in the United States for decades, and now it is getting worse. It is the number one reason for death for women. Number two for men. Workplace Violence, left unchecked, erodes worker morale, disrupts productivity, damages corporate respectability and image. Action Fighting Arts addresses all cogent Workplace Violence issues in this unique, aggressive and comprehensive training program. Managing Workplace Violence designed for those public and private corporations most impacted by violence, including every type of school, law enforcement related agencies, drug and alcohol rehabilitation (residential and out-patient) programs, those agencies doing direct business with the public (retail), and private corporations.

Managing Workplace Violence can be presented in one or two components. MWPV I consists of a combination of relevant factors regarding violence in the workplace, including:

Management of Workplace Violence, II: This innovative and unique component of the program is the Non-Lethal Subject Control and Self Defense Component. Component II is a complete and separate part of the course and is available on request only. MWPV II is designed to meet the demands of violence in the workplace when that violence cannot be checked by traditional means and includes a cluster of simple techniques designed first and foremost to enable workers to Escape and Evade dangerous situations and, in extreme situations, to weaken, stun, and, when necessary, temporarily disable the violent perpetrator.

Management of Workplace Violence I is a 4 to 6-hour course, dependent upon the needs of the client.

Management of Workplace Violence II is a 6-hour hands-on program. Both components can be delivered separately or together, depending, of course, on the needs of the agency. Cost is negotiable, dependent upon the number of students, equipment needs, etc.
