Workplace violence is a growing concern in the construction sector, which is commonly a high stress work environment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 9% of worker deaths in the US in 2017 were due to workplace violence. Additionally, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that women (5.1 per 10,000) experience higher rates of nonfatal injuries due to workplace violence than men (2.3 per 10,000), resulting in days away from work.
