Crisis Management and Workplace Violence Prevention
UPS is committed to a safe working environment, free of threats, intimidation,
and physical harm. Everyone has a right to work in a safe environment
and shares the responsibility for assuring each other’s safety. UPS
has adopted a zero tolerance workplace violence policy. This means
we will investigate and take appropriate action against any threat to a
safe workplace.
UPS prohibits violent behavior including, but not limited to, physical
assaults, fighting, threatening comments, intimidation, and the intentional
or reckless destruction of company, employee, or customer property. Any
comments or behavior that reasonably could be interpreted as an intent to
do harm to people or property will be considered a threat. We also prohibit
the unauthorized possession and/or use of weapons by any employee while
at work, on company property, or while on company business.
Any employee who believes that he or she may be the target of violence
or threats of violence, or is aware of violent or threatening conduct by,
or directed at, a UPS employee that could result in injury to a person or
the destruction of property, has a responsibility to immediately report the
situation to his or her immediate supervisor or manager. If an employee is
unable to or prefers not to contact an immediate supervisor or manager, the
employee can call the UPS Help Line (see “Asking Questions and Voicing
Concerns”).
