General-duty citation text

HAR 12-60-2(a)(3) was violated because:
The employer did not provide a workplace free of a potential hazard in the
form of a written safety and
health program and workplace violence policy thus exposing the employees
to the potential hazard of
personal violence in the workplace.
12-60-2(a)(3) states  The employer did not provide safe working places and
practices by elimination
or reduction of existing potential hazards. Elimination of existing or
potential hazards by design, process
substitution, or appropriate methods is preferred because it eliminates
the need for further employee
protection. When elimination is not feasible, reduction of existing
potential hazard to acceptable levels
using methods such as engineering or administrative controls, isolation,
or guarding must be promptly
used. When these methods are inadequate to reach acceptable levels
personal protective equipment
must be provided and used.
