Workplace Violence Prevention Training

This online training reviews UB’s Workplace Violence and Bullying Policy and helps you to identify potentially violent situations so that you can help to keep our campus safe and secure. 

Running Time: 30 minutes

The University at Buffalo does not tolerate violence of any form on campus. While most workplaces are free from violence, it is important that all of us are aware of what we can do to help prevent an incident on campus. This program will outline steps you can take to ensure safety for yourself and others at UB.
