International sources and resources
- The International Labour Organization (ILO) website has many sector specific resources on violence and stress - for example on Violence at work in hotels, catering and tourism and Guidelines for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and skills systems on preventing and eliminating violence and harassment. A search of the website will reveal many documents and working papers.
- From the UK's HSE: Managing violence in retail and licensed premises toolkit a free web-based kit is designed to help employers in retail and licensed premises tackle the problem of work-related violence. While primarily aimed at large employers in the sector, an accompanying summary leaflet titled Managing work-related violence in licensed and retail premises [downloads as a pdf ] is available for smaller organisations. The toolkit incorporates a wide number of examples of good practice and control measures used to reduce the risk of violence in the retail and licensed sectors.
