Workplace Violence Prevention
Stanford University strives to provide a safe work environment free from threats or acts of violence. With this in mind, and in accordance with state laws, Administrative Guide (AGM) 2.2.4: Violence in the Workplace provides guidelines for responding to violence or threats of violence in the workplace, including all university locations.
Additionally, AGM 2.2.4 complies with California employment law, Senate Bill 553, which requires employers to create and publish a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan.
