- 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.
