Below is the list of actions developed to improve safety of employees. What potential barriers might impede that planned actions?

1. write policy statement that clearly identifies violent and aggressive behaviour as un-acceptable in the workplace. The statement should be clearly posted in the workplace and should apply both to employees and to members of the public.
2. write a risk assessment that considers the organization's history of violence and aggression, the nature of tasks performed in the workplace, and any special circumstances that may temporarily or permanently change these risks.
3. Create risk mitigation strategies specifically designed to reduce or mitigate the risks identified in the risk assessment.
4. Training for both employees and managers in recognizing and managing risks and in applying the policy. Leadership training activities which may result in a decrease in abusive supervision and an increase in organizational justice.
5. write an emergency response plan that deals with violent incidents in progress and also their aftermath. The plan will include provisions for escape/evacuation, for calling security/police forces, for treating physical injuries and so on.
6. Follow-up procedures will be created to ensure that victims receive appropriate physical and psychological treatment, that risks are reassessed following an incident, that all incidents are documented and reported to appropriate authorities, and that all aspects of the workplace violence management plan are current and effective.
