WORKPLACE VIOLENCE

As the third leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States, workplace violence is a serious health and safety issue that you simply cannot afford.

Merrill's Investigations provides clients in Maine and across New England with specialists equipped to proactively reduce the risk of workplace violence. We will respond quickly as we come to the aid and protection of your employees and facilities should violence erupt. Workplace violence is a serious health and safety issue that you simply cannot ignore.

Every day in Maine and across New England, countless employees are harassed, intimidated, threatened and verbally or physically attacked. In some cases these incidents result in serious injuries, expensive litigation or even death in the workplace. As the stresses of tough economic times increase in the workplace, the potential for violence also increases. Don't allow your company or your employees to be the victim of an attack by disgruntled employees, spouses or other people close to your employees.

Consult with Merrill's if you are facing layoffs, cutbacks, changes in compensation programs or other changes that may disrupt employee morale. Most employers do not have the expertise, information and qualified professional staff to recognize and reduce the potential for a violent incident. Merrill’s Investigations strongly recommends that administrative investigations be conducted by a professional workplace violence investigator.

Merrill's conducts all investigations, assessments and violence reduction efforts in a fair and objective manner designed to be effective and mindful of the legal considerations of the employer and employee.
