[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Greenwich 12-28-2016 by L.L. No. 1-2017. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
The Town of Greenwich’s number one core value is to provide
a safe and healthy work environment free from all recognized safety
and health hazards. Threats or acts of violence are workplace hazards
that are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
The goal of this policy is to ensure that all employees have
an opportunity to work in an environment free of violence and to maintain
this culture by providing procedures for reporting, investigating,
and resolving any threats or acts of violence involving or against
our employees. Management will continuously look for and take every
reasonable prevention measure possible to ensure that this program
protects our employees from all violent behavior.
Upon knowledge of threats or acts of workplace violence, management
will take direct and immediate action to prevent any additional threats
or violent acts from occurring. Management will investigate thoroughly
all reports of threats or acts of violence. The lessons learned will
be shared as well as utilized to improve our Workplace Violence Prevention
Program. We will update our program whenever deficiencies are found,
but no less than annually.
If you feel that you have been a target of workplace violence,
report it immediately to your supervisor, department head, Personnel
Officer, or Town Supervisor. If you feel that you are in immediate
danger, call 911.
