Read following points: -As you see a fellow volunteer placing a gun is his locker, he says to you ‘Don ‘ t worry, its just my equilizer. I don’t get mad, I get even -At Fort Edmonton Park a visitor reacts to a no smoking bylaw by flicking her cigarette butt in your general direction -While you are volunteering, another volunteer grabs your hand and asks you on a date. When you say ‘no’ the volunteer doesn’t let go of your hand and says “I won’t take no for an answer.” -While volunteering at the Zoo, a visitor yells at you because the train was late again, When you try to check his ticket he calls you ‘stupid’ and makes a racial slur. -Your ex unexpectedly shows up where you are volunteering and says, if I can’t have you no one can…then walks away Your Coordinator stands up and screams at you saying you are a worthless volunteer and that you don’t deserve to be here. Key point: FEEL threatended
All of the previous scenarios could have been considered workplace violence…so what is considered workplace violence depends on how you perceive a situation. As front line volunteers, you need to trust your judgement when determining what is a threatening or intimidating situation.
