Safety Bingo Daily Numbers

Daily Safety Tip No, Beastie Boys, there will be NO fighting for your right to party in the workplace.	Safety Minute: There will be no fighting in the workplace, not even for your right to paaaaaaarty. On a serious note: Workplace Violence Incidents on the Rise According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, workplace violence is on the rise.  Managers need to learn how to prevent workplace violence, as well as how to respond when these incidents occur. Workplace Violence typically falls into one of four categories. Type I: Criminal intent In this kind of violent incident, the perpetrator has no legitimate relationship to the business or its employee(s). Rather, the violence is incidental to another crime, such as robbery, shoplifting, or trespassing. Type II: Customer/client When the violent person has a legitimate relationship with the business—for example, the person is a customer, client, patient, student, or inmate—and becomes violent while being served by the business, the violence falls into this category. A large portion of customer/client incidents occur in the healthcare industry, in settings such as nursing homes or psychiatric facilities; the victims are often patient caregivers. Type III: Worker-on-worker The perpetrator of Type III violence is an employee or past employee of the business who attacks or threatens other employee(s) or past employee(s) in the workplace. Type IV: Personal relationship The perpetrator usually does not have a relationship with the business, but has a personal relationship with the intended victim. The category includes victims of domestic violence who are assaulted or threatened while at work. This type of violence can occur in all workplaces. Once you’ve identified which types of violence are most likely to occur in your workplace, train your employers on the specific security procedures we have developed to prevent these workplace incidents. Why It Matters ·         The vast majority of workplace homicides (85 percent) are Type I violence. ·         Only about 3 percent of all workplace homicides result from Type II violence, but this category accounts for a majority of nonfatal workplace violence incidents. ·         Type III violence account for approximately 7 percent of all workplace homicides. ·         Type IV violence accounts for about 5 percent of all workplace homicides.

Jenny Haskell/IN State Fair Remembrance Day

Superstars, $120 was raised in memory of Jenny Haskell.  A lion's share of these contributions came from Middletown, but we appreciate EVERYONE'S involvement.  Jenny is the niece of our Middletown Store Manager, Teresa, and tragically, she was a victim of the State Fair Collapse.  If there are any additional donations, please send them up as soon as possible.  

This was a truly touching tribute for a wonderful girl.  Thank you.
