In California, your employer has a general duty to provide you with a place of employment that is free from recognized hazards that can cause death or serious physical injury. This means if you have a co-worker or supervisor who is making death threats or acting violently, your employer needs to resolve the situation. If you approach your employer about a workplace safety concern and he ignores you and / or doesn’t take any action to resolve the situation, call an experienced employment attorney.

Workplace violence is a serious threat. According to one US Labor study, from 1997 to 2007, there were more than 7,000 occupational homicides nationwide. Although most of them involved robberies – retail workers, for example, shot during a holdup, 1,000 involved work colleagues. Protect yourself and your rights as a CA employee.
