Workplace Violence Questionnaire
The Workplace Violence Questionnaire is a structured assessment tool designed to identify, evaluate, and reduce the risk of violent or disruptive incidents within healthcare and medical environments. It captures key information related to employee experiences, perceived safety concerns, prior incidents, and environmental or operational risk factors that may contribute to workplace violence.
This questionnaire supports a proactive, prevention-focused approach by gathering feedback from staff, leadership, and security personnel. The data collected helps organizations recognize trends, assess vulnerabilities, and implement targeted security measures, policy improvements, and training initiatives.
