214 - VIOLENCE-FREE WORKPLACE

It is the Company’s policy to provide a workplace that is safe and free from all threatening and intimidating conduct. Therefore, the Company will not tolerate violence or threats of violence of any form in the workplace, at work-related functions, or outside of work if it affects the workplace. This policy applies to the Company employees, clients, customers, guests, vendors, and persons doing business with the Company.

 It will be a violation of this policy for any individual to engage in any conduct, verbal or physical, which intimidates, endangers, or creates the perception of intent to harm persons or property. Examples include but are not limited to:

  • Physical assaults or threats of physical assault, whether made in person or by other means (i.e., in writing, by phone, fax, or e-mail).

  • Verbal conduct that is intimidating and has the purpose or effect of threatening the health or safety of a co-worker.

  • Weapons on Company property, a customer site, or at a work-related function (see also the DPI Weaponspolicy).

  • Any other conduct or acts which management believes represents an imminent or potential danger to workplace safety/security.

 Anyone with questions or complaints about workplace behaviors which fall under this policy may discuss them with a Supervisor, department or branch manager, or a Human Resources representative. The Company will promptly and thoroughly investigate any reported occurrences or threats of violence. Violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employees. Where appropriate and/or necessary, the Company will also take whatever legal actions are available and necessary to stop the conduct and protect the Company employees and property.
