Workplace Violence Scale

The Workplace Violence Scale measures employee exposure to physical and verbal violence, threats, and harassment in occupational settings. Developed by the International Labour Organization, it captures the prevalence and severity of violent incidents affecting worker safety and health across sectors including healthcare, education, retail, and social services. The scale is essential for identifying organizational violence risk and monitoring workplace safety interventions.
