Holes still prevalent in robbery-related workplace violence prevention.

Holes still prevalent in robbery-related workplace violence prevention. In June’s elearning news bulletin from Trainingonline.com, Dr. Corrine Peek-Asa, a researcher for the UCLA Southern California Injury Prevention Research Center, identifies the primary problems her research is discovering:

Tendency to embrace a single aspect of prevention while ignoring others, e.g., purchasing a surveillance camera system but not improving cash-handling procedures.

Failure to understand what exposures their particular type of business faces and instead reacting to media reports of violent incidents that don’t apply to their risk profile.

Failure to use violent events as a catalyst to implement prevention programs.
