NEW YORK - How employers safeguard employees in today's work environments is the focus of a one-day conference to be held in Scottsdale, Arizona, November 12, sponsored by the Copper Development Association (CDA).
Every day, thousands of employees are harassed, intimidated, threatened and verbally or physically attacked in their workplace. Human resource managers, directors of security, labor attorneys and others charged with maintaining a safe work environment are painfully aware of this growing problem. Once just a concern of industrial and manufacturing operations, today these topics are critical to commercial and public facilities as well.
A panel comprised of Eugene A. Rugala, supervisory special agent for the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group, Quantico, Virginia; Coleen Widell, president of the American Institute on Domestic Violence, Lake Havasu City, Arizona.; and John Nicoletti, PhD, of Nicoletti-Frater Associates, Lakewood, Colorado, will address these issues from the health, safety, psychological and law enforcement aspects
