CAP Index® President Calls for Redefinition of Workplace Violence at National Restaurant Association's Risk & Safety Managers 2012 Winter Meeting

EXTON, Pa., Feb. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CAP Index® Inc. (http://www.capindex.com) -- the world leader in crime forecasting data and solutions -- announced today that its President and COO, Jon D. Groussman, JD, will be addressing the National Restaurant Association's Risk & Safety Managers 2012 Winter Meeting, being held in Las Vegas from February 7th - 9th, 2012.

Mr. Groussman is nationally recognized for advising private corporations and government entities on crime prevention strategies as well as post-incident response and analysis. He frequently provides expert forensic analysis in litigation charging negligent security.

As a keynote speaker on the topic of "Workplace Safety, Crime and Security Measures," Mr. Groussman will provide session attendees with his perspectives on:

• Why Workplace Violence Must Be Redefined
• The True Cost of Crime
• Current Premises Security Liability Trends
• How to Create a Corporate Security / Risk Matrix Strategy

According to security industry sources, more than 2 million people are victims of a physical attack in the workplace each year. Mr. Groussman believes that companies across all industries must re-evaluate how they define, prevent and respond to workplace violence. He notes that, "Workplace violence is not limited to the hi-consequence / low probability events that make the headlines once or twice a year. Workplace violence occurs every day, and comes in many forms. For example, it might involve disgruntled employees, displaced domestic violence, sexual harassment, 3rd party crimes or physical contact without injury."

Mr. Groussman said, "There are no simple solutions to workplace violence. The process of creating and implementing an effective security risk matrix takes time, involves the entire organization, and requires a data-driven approach to identifying risks and protecting the company's most important assets, which are its employees and customers."
