    Violent acts by criminals who have no other connection to the workplace, but enter to commit robbery or another crime.

  • Type 2
    Violence directed at employees by customers, clients, patients, students, inmates, or any others for whom an organization provides services.

  • Type 3
    Violence against coworkers, supervisors, or managers by a present or former employee.

  • Type 4
    Violence committed in the workplace by someone who doesn’t work there, but has a personal relationship with an employee, such as an abusive spouse or domestic partner.
