Reminder
on Violence In the Workplace
It is
the policy of the Laboratory to create and maintain a community
in which employees can work together in an atmosphere of respect
and civility, free of harassing and threatening behaviors.
Laboratory policies are designed to protect and promote the
rights of members of the Berkeley Lab community and to prevent
actions that interfere with those rights and with the Laboratory's
mission. Go here to learn more about this policy.
Any threat
or violent act by an individual associated with Berkeley Lab,
including any employee, contractor, guest, or student, will
be considered serious misconduct and may be the basis for disciplinary
action or dismissal. Such an act may be reported to local law
enforcement officials for appropriate action. To assist managers
and individuals in assessing situations involving workplace
violence, the Laboratory has established a Crisis Action Team
(CAT), composed of Berkeley Lab and University of California,
Berkeley, campus units with special expertise and professional
training. If an employee believes he or she needs assistance,
that employee should call the Manager of Labor and Employee
Relations. If he or she is experiencing an immediate threat,
the employee should dial 7911 (or 9-911 from a campus phone).
