Supervisors who fail to step in can be held civilly liable and responsible for their failure to act early or appropriately to prevent escalation or confrontations. In cases of death or serious injury between employees or customers, wrongful death law suits are often filed in addition to criminal prosecution. Not knowing is no longer a legitimate excuse. When supervisors fail to act appropriately, management hasrepparttar 132001 burden of investigating repparttar 132002 incident, dealing withrepparttar 132003 issue ofrepparttar 132004 aggressor over repparttar 132005 contributory behavior ofrepparttar 132006 instigator and decide on repparttar 132007 appropriate progressive actions (disciplinary or referral to local police) necessary.

Any broad-brush approach to enforcingrepparttar 132014 Zero Tolerance Policy soursrepparttar 132015 innocent bystanders and prejudicesrepparttar 132016 potential witnesses who may fear retaliation or retribution, factors which may further complicaterepparttar 132017 disciplinary process and/or criminal referral.
