Workplace Violence Prevention

The Company is committed to the safety and security of our employees. Workplace violence
presents a serious occupational safety hazard to our organization, staff, members and visitors.

Workplace violence includes any physical assault or act of aggressive behavior occurring where
an employee performs any work-related duty in the course of his or her employment including
