From the author: In a recent year over two million Americans reported being physically attacked on the job, resulting in $13.5 billion in medical costs. The magnitude, seriousness, and increasing frequency of workplace violence compels each state to establish a clear definition of the problem and take appropriate action to confront it. This study evaluates current workplace violence legislation throughout the 50 states using standards set forth by a federal court. The findings reveal that states do not fulfill the requirements of a comprehensive policy. Based upon the research, a developmental policy is created whereby states can protect their employees from harm and themselves from liability.
