While having a direct link to 911 can be helpful in emergency situations, it is not a major element of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). The other three options (territoriality, access control, and natural surveillance) are all key principles of CPTED.

Question 8

Approximately 100,000 work days are lost annually in the United States because of workplace violence.

The actual number of workdays lost annually in the United States due to workplace violence is much higher, estimated to be in the millions, not just 100,000. Workplace violence has significant impacts on employees' physical and psychological health, leading to absenteeism and lost productivity.

Question 9

Employers should act prudently to protect employees and customers from workplace violence even if they have to temporarily violate an individual's rights.

Both management commitment/employee involvement and hazard prevention and control are broadly applicable elements of OSHA's volunteer guidelines on workplace violence. Management commitment/employee involvement involves creating a culture of safety in the workplace by involving employees in the development and implementation of safety policies and procedures. Hazard prevention and control involves identifying potential hazards in the workplace and taking steps to prevent or mitigate them. Both of these elements are important in preventing workplace violence and ensuring the safety of volunteers.
