2 <br /> • Expresses concern for the security and safety of all Orange <br /> County employees and citizens. <br /> • Delineates specific responsibilities for the employee, <br /> department head or supervisor, Personnel Department and <br /> Risk Management Director in managing and reporting <br /> workplace violence. <br /> • Provides that employees follow established guidelines for <br /> managing and reporting incidents of workplace violence. <br /> (These guidelines were provided to the Board under separate <br /> cover.) <br /> The Board had initially reviewed the draft Personnel Ordinance <br /> Revision at its May 5, 1997 meeting. In response to one of the <br /> Board member's concerns about the word "suspicion" in section <br /> 9.3.1 and 9.3.2, this word was removed. <br /> Also, as requested by one of the Board members during the May <br /> 5 meeting, a complete list of the positions designated as "high <br /> risk" is included as Attachment 2. Beginning in May, Workplace <br /> Violence Prevention training will be offered to employees whose <br /> jobs are designated as "high risk." The "high risk" employees <br /> are those employees whose jobs require regulatory work in the <br /> community, or work in home settings away from the Orange <br /> County offices (social workers, public health nurses, inspectors, <br /> for example). After the initial phase of training for the"high risk" <br /> employees, training will be offered to other Orange County <br /> employees as requested. <br /> In addition to training, the workplace violence prevention <br /> initiative will include looking at existing facilities and work <br /> practices and making recommendations for any necessary <br /> changes in these areas. As discussed on May 5, the initiative <br /> also includes providing safety information to volunteers. Safety <br /> awareness materials have been included in the orientation <br /> materials for all Orange County Board and Commission <br /> volunteers. In addition, written safety materials will be available <br /> to department staff working with volunteers who are not <br /> members of a Board or Commission. <br /> Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board approve amending the <br /> Orange County Personnel Ordinance to add the Workplace <br /> Violence Prevention Policy. <br /> Mperslwkviolen.doc <br />
