The increasing toll of workplace violence in the U.S. has left employers grappling with questions about what measures they should take – or are legally obligated to take – to keep employees safe from harm in the workplace. Under the federal Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA), all employers have a general duty to provide a safe workplace for employees.
Join attorney Ben Webster (Office Managing Shareholder of the Littler Mendelson office in Sacramento and a member of Littler’s Workplace Violence Prevention Practice Group) to discuss steps that employers can take, including:
- What policies and practices should employers have in place to increase awareness, recognition, and reporting of actual or potential incidents or threats of workplace violence?
- What are some warning signs of workplace violence?
- How do employers assess the risks and deploy measures that are proportionate?

What is a webinar?
A webinar is simply a seminar that you attend online. You either watch a live video feed of the speaker or listen to the speaker through your computer, tablet or phone’s audio. You see the speaker’s slides, videos, and other presentation materials on your screen.
Can I ask questions during the webinar?
Yes. During the live webinar, you may submit questions and comments and the speaker will respond verbally. For a recorded webinar, your questions will be emailed to the speaker. You will typically receive a response from the speaker within two business days.
Can I attend using a tablet or smartphone?
Yes. You may attend a webinar using a computer, tablet or smartphone.
If I can’t attend a webinar live, can I view the recording later?
Yes. Shortly after each live program ends, we send all webinar registrants a link to the webinar recording. You can view the recording as many times as you like after the live webinar for up to 12 months.
What is an on-demand webinar?
An on-demand webinar is a previously recorded webinar that you may view at any time after your purchase for up to 12 months.
Can I stop a recorded webinar and start it later at the same point?

Do the webinars qualify for Continuing Education Credit?
