AB  - Workers  in  a  great  variety  of  industries  and  occupations  face  the  serious  problem  of  workplace  violence  (WV).  A  basic  definition  of  workplace  violence  is  any  physical  assault  or  threat  that  a  worker  experiences  associated  with  their  job.  The  perpetrator  of  such  violence  may  be  a  stranger,  a  client/patient,  a  coworker,  or  an  intimate  partner.  The  probability  of  a  worker  experiencing  workplace  violence  at  the  hands  of  one  of  these  classes  of  perpetrators  varies  by  industry  and  occupation.  Workplace  violence  directed  at  health  care  and  social  assistance  workers  are  at  high  risk  of  workplace  violence,  in  part  due  to  the  fact  that  they  are  often  required  to  provide  care  to  anyone  seeking  such  services,  including  those  patients  or  clients  who  have  or  develop  behavioral  problems  that  place  workers  at  risk  of  violence.  However,  many  of  the  risk  factors  and  prevention  strategies  for  these  workers  can  be  applied  across  industry  sectors.
