Can you spot workplace violence indicators?: Answers

  1. Answer: Yes. While an employee who bullies, intimidates, or threatens coworkers should definitely be reported to the employer, other actions can also indicate that an individual may become violent. Other warning signs may include:
    1. A notable increase in frustration or picking fights,
    2. An obsession with weapons,
    3. A decline in health or hygiene habits,
    4. An increase in alcohol or drug use, or
    5. Signs of suicidal thoughts or depression.
  2. Answer: No. This employee is not aggressive, seeking vengeance, or hinting to any violent behavior within the workplace. Her behavior does not indicate workplace violence.
  3. Answer: Yes. Active shooters typically have an “avenger mindset,” often believing they are fighting back against an injustice, either real or perceived, that has happened to them or someone they know. This feeling of having been wronged or treated unfairly can be triggered by stressors in their personal life (financial, legal, or relationship problems; drug or alcohol abuse; mental or physical ailments) or in the workplace (job loss, suspension, unequal or unfair treatment, harassment). Many active shooters exhibit warning signs or give hints of their intentions to others in person or through social media.
