Workplace Violence in Construction: Share Your Perspective

The Heart of America Chapter of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) is proud to support a research study being conducted through Rockhurst University titled, Workplace Violence in the Construction Industry: Is It Really a Problem?

The purpose of this study is to better understand construction professionals’ perceptions of workplace violence, including contributing factors, impacts, and prevention strategies.

To participate, individuals must be at least 18 years old and currently employed in the construction industry. Participation involves completing a brief, anonymous online survey that takes approximately four minutes to complete. All responses will be kept confidential and reported only in aggregate form. Participation is entirely voluntary, and participants may skip any question or discontinue the survey at any time.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Your participation will contribute to a greater understanding of workplace violence within the construction industry and help inform future prevention efforts.
