Title The distinction between workplace bullying and workplace violence and the ramifications for OHS
Bibliographic information Dec. 1998, Vol.14, No.6, p.575-580. 22 ref.
Abstract It is argued that workplace violence and workplace bullying are discrete phenomena and have different implications for OSH management and prevention. Preventive strategies are suggested for dealing with both problems. It is also suggested that such strategies will be more effective when systemic forms of workplace bullying and violence are addressed. Topics: behaviour prediction; bullying; discriminatory practices; human behaviour; human relations; plant safety and health organization; violence.
