<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,</p><br><p class="MsoNormal">
Over the past year, the Lab has benchmarked with other DOE Labs and
universities on their approach to workplace harassment and violence.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We’ve interviewed scores of employees and
users seeking input on what our approach to this subject should be.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>We’ve worked with the city to understand the
police and fire response and to solicit their advice to an active threat on our
site.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Through these and other efforts, a
<a href="https://www.jlab.org/div_dept/admin/HR/violence.html" target="_blank">Workplace Harassment and Violence Policy</a> has been developed that establishes preventive measures and
resources to support those who believe they may have been subjected to
harassment or acts of violence in the workplace.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All employees should click <a href="http://www.jlab.org/div_dept/train/WorkplaceViolencePolicy.pdf" target="_blank">here</a><a name="_GoBack"></a> to familiarize themselves with the required reading concerning

the event there is an active threat that targets Lab employees and/or
facilities.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Please review this guidance
and take a few minutes to view the Department of Homeland Security video
provided on its web site at <a href="http://www.dhs.gov/video/options-consideration-active-shooter-training-video" target="_blank">http://www.dhs.gov/video/options-consideration-active-shooter-training-video</a>.
