Employee Violence Risk Assessment Questionnaire

About the Employee Violence Risk Assessment Questionnaire

This questionnaire template for assessing the risk of violence is specifically tailored to assess an employee. It not only assesses the employee’s actions and behavior, but also whether the company has so far established a framework to prevent workplace violence in their company. This includes, among other things, an appropriate company policy, contact persons for those affected, and assistance for perpetrators and those affected.

Using the digital questionnaire with Lumiform’s mobile app, you can:

Lumiform’s flexible form builder offers the ability to customize or update the existing template, as well as easily create workplace violence risk assessment templates from scratch.
