| | | Surprising Business Risk facts defined. ADT can help prevent these from happening in your company; take action now. - Premise Liability - financial loss resulting from employee or customer slip and fall cases, and workman's compensation claims. It has never been easier for someone to take you to court, thus liability issues are a major concern. According to a Liability Consultants' study, the average settlement in a security-related lawsuit is $1.2 million.
- Workplace violence - the incidence of assault, rape, robbery, attempted murder or murder by a colleague, customer or intruder. Workplace violence has emerged as an important safety and health issue in today's business world. Nearly 1,000 workers are murdered, and 1.5 million are assaulted in the workplace each year. This is a $36 billion a year problem.
- Drugs in the workplace - the use of illegal drugs, alcohol or inappropriate pharmaceuticals that interfere with one's job performance. Statistics reveal that more than 70 percent of substance abusers hold jobs. The problems of these substance abusers become your problems. Drugs in the workplace may increase risk of accident and/or death, lower productivity, raise insurance costs, and reduce profits.
- Harassment - unwelcome or unreciprocated behavior which makes an employee or customer feel intimidated, offended or belittled in the workplace. Workplace harassment imposes substantial costs. These can include lost productivity, lowered morale and loss of reputation as an employer and service provider, not to mention staggering court costs. Victims of sexual harassment can recover for their lost wages, future lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.
Due to ADT’s focus on these high risk issues, we are seeing our customers take a more proactive approach to better deter, detect and document activity within the workplace. In an effort to help reduce risks, companies are beginning to implement awareness and safety programs and workplace initiatives.
