Which of the following is NOT listed as a risk factor for workplace violence?

• A. Regular office hours
• B. Working from home
• C. Open early morning/late nights
• D. Contact with public

Answer: (B)

The main idea is recognizing which situations increase a worker’s exposure to potential violence, and which do not. Working from home generally reduces or eliminates direct interaction with the public and on-site confrontations, so it doesn’t fit the kinds of risk factors that are typically listed for workplace violence. Risk factors usually involve being in locations or times where you have public contact or limited immediate support—like dealing with the public or operating during unconventional hours when security or backup may be thinner. Because being at home removes those on-site exposure points, it’s not counted as a listed risk factor. The other scenarios describe conditions that increase exposure to potential violence: interacting with the public directly and working during hours when risk or response delays might be greater.
