“…The presence of cash and the transference of money are associated with workplace homicides. Other physical risk factors include workplaces with poor lighting, easy entry and escape routes and poor visibility of cash registers and shops to the public (Erickson, 1980). Psychosocial risk factors of the assailant can affect the risk of homicide.…”

“…Studies have shown that assailants often use alcohol or drugs prior to a murder (Davis, 1987a). In addition, most murders occurring with robbery usually involve situations where the assailant and victim are strangers, whereas workplace homicides not involving robbery usually occur when the assailant knows the victim (Erickson, 1980). It is unlikely someone will be killed at work by a stranger unless employed at a high risk job.…”

“…A number of behavioral and environmental strategies have been proposed to reduce the risk and incidence of occupational homicide (CDC, 1986;Crovv, 1975;Erickson, 1980;Felson, 1983). Rigorous evaluation of strategies alone and in combination should be performed to target appro-Homicide in the Workplace The U.S. Experience, 1980-1988.…”

H omicide was the third leading cause of occupational injury death in the United States from 1980 to 1988. Twelve percent of all occupational injury deaths in the period were homicides. Only motor vehicle (23%) and machine related (13%) incidents accounted for more deaths. State specific studies in North Carolina (Sniezek, 1989) and Texas (CDC, 1985) yielded similar results, with homicide accounting for 12% and 14% of the occupational injury deaths in those states, respectively. The initial Texas study included only males. A subsequent analysis of data for females yielded dramatically different results, with homicide accounting for 53% of all occupational injury deaths of Texas females (Davis, 1987a). An analysis of National Traumatic Occupational Fatality (NTOF) data for the United

H omicide at work is an emerging concern for occupational health nurses. Approximately 42% of fatal occupational injuries for women are due to murder, compared to 11% for men (CDC, 1990). Between 1980 and 1985, murder on the job was the leading cause of fatal injuries for women, compared to the third leading cause for men. During this period, workplace homicide of women accounted for 25,787 years of potential life lost (CDC, 1990). Any worker, especially if involved with exchange of money, is a potential victim of a violent act. The leading causes of the estimated annual 7,000 fatal injuries of men and women at work are motor vehicle injuries, machine related injuries, and homicide (CDC, 1990). However, because the homicide rate for men generally is higher and their participation in the work force is greater
