What elements of OSHA's guidelines on workplace violence can be adapted for use in construction companies?

What will be an ideal response?


OSHA does publish voluntary guidelines that employers can use to help ensure a safe and healthy workplace free of violence. They were not designed for construction companies, but many of the guidelines will work for any type of employer. Two key points to understand about these guidelines are as follows:
• The guidelines are advisory in nature and informational in content. The guidelines do not add to or enhance in any way the requirements of the General Duty clause of the OSHAct.
• The guidelines were developed with service establishments in mind. Consequently, they have a service-oriented emphasis. However, much of the advice contained in the guidelines can be adapted for use in construction settings.
