Which of the following is NOT listed as a type of workplace violence?

• A. Criminal act
• B. Employment relationship- present or former employee
• C. Non work related
• D. Cyber harassment

Answer: (D)

Workplace violence is classified by where the threat comes from and how it relates to the workplace. The standard categories include violence from a criminal act by a person with no workplace connection, violence involving someone who has an employment relationship with the workplace (present or former employee), and violence arising from a non work–related situation that still intrudes into the workplace. Cyber harassment, while a serious issue and something that can affect workers, isn’t typically listed as one of these standard categories of workplace violence in this context. That’s why it’s the option that isn’t listed as a type of workplace violence.
