VIOLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE POLICY Sample Clauses

VIOLENCE IN THE WORKPLACE POLICY. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District recognizes the importance of maintaining a safe and violence-free workplace. In that spirit, all weapons are banned from the District. No District employee, customer, or visitor is allowed to carry weapons of any sort on District property or in a District vehicle. All employees are required to immediately report any sightings of weapons or violent behavior on the premises or at their work sites. It should be noted that a good deal of District business is conducted off of District property. Therefore, employees must be aware of the need to always take safety and security precautions when performing their duties on private property. However, District employees are prohibited from carrying weapons while conducting District business. Any violent behavior directed at District employees, either while they are conducting District business or related to the conduct of District business, should be immediately reported to the General Manager.
