    People at high risk of workplace violence exhibit certain psychological, physical, and behavioral symptoms. Psychologically, they may experience excessive worry, difficulty controlling thoughts, and low self-esteem. Physically, they could have problems sleeping, feel restless or tense, and experience nausea. Behaviorally, they may avoid social situations, use drugs or alcohol to cope, and isolate themselves socially. Identifying such at-risk employees allows organizations to provide support before circumstances push them to a breaking point where their frustrations may be taken out violently at work.

    IDENTIFYING PEOPLE AT RISK

    People at high risk are those workers who are more likely to harm themselves, their co-
    workers and the company. Most employees do not set out with malicious intentions but
    circumstances in their life push them to a breaking point and their aggressions may be taken
    out at work. It is important to identify employees who are at high risk for violence in their
    workplace is to get to know them as well as the organization can.
    We can identify people at risk by looking in to the following symptoms:

    We can also do a drug test to identify whether the employees are addicted to the drugs or not.
    Drug addiction can be a result of high mental stress.
    Employees who just went through a major life change will be also undergoing through a
    stressful situation and they will consider leaving organization.

    mentally.
