Workplace Violence Policy
At the recommendation of the University’s Campus-wide Safety Committee, the University Human Resources Committee and Executive Vice President Weldon Ihrig have approved adoption of the “University of Washington Policy and Procedure on Workplace Violence.”

The policy describes:

  • The kind of behavior that is prohibited and the sanctions that are possible;
  • Reporting and investigation requirements when supervisors or other management staff receive reports of potentially violent behavior; and,
  • Available resources for “Critical Incident Stress Debriefing,” an aid by which individuals who have suffered, or been exposed to a traumatic event can be helped to resolve the concerns or anxieties that are commonly associated with such an experience.

    The workplace violence policy and information about critical incident stress debriefing are available on the Human Resources Web site at the following locations:

    Workplace violence policy: http://www.washington.edu/admin/emprel/work.violence/wk.viol.policy.html

    Critical Incident Stress Debriefing: http://www.washington.edu/admin/emprel/work.violence/cisd.info.html

    Questions about the policy may be directed to the Human Resources Representative who provides support to your unit.
