Workplace Violence Prevention Policy

It is the policy of the Plumas County Risk Management to provide a safe and secure work environment that has no tolerance for harassment, intimidation, threats or acts of violence in the workplace. Any behavior that raises concerns for the safety of another person's life, health, well-being, family or property, whether direct or indirect, constitutes unacceptable conduct.

Plumas County Risk Management shall take appropriate actions to enhance the safety, as fully as possible, of county employees and members of the public from harassment, intimidation, threats and acts of violence, which may occur at the workplace, and during the performance of their duties.

No tolerance means that every act of violence in the workplace, regardless of nature, must be reported to your Department Head or supervisor.

Acts of violence, threats of violence, theft, dishonesty, discrimination, retaliation, and harassment should be considered urgent and will be taken seriously.

If you consider the act or threat of violence as serious, immediately call 911. Then contact your supervisor or Department Head.

In the event of a workplace violence incident, you must report this to Risk Management within 24 hours of the incident taking place.

Discrimination, retaliation and harassment must be reported to the Risk Management department.

If unsure as to what must be reported and to whom, review the Plumas County Workplace Violence Policy or contact Risk Management.
