Violence in the Workplace

Workplace violence is the attempted or actual exercise of any intentional physical force that causes or may cause physical injury to a worker.  Workplace bullying usually involves repeated incidents or a pattern of
behaviour that is intended to intimidate, offend, degrade or humiliate a particular person or group of people.
