In general:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The policy does not cover threats of workplace violence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The policy requires more than physical force. A workplace violent event requires intentional and unlawful use of deadly force by a natural person with the intent to harm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The policy requires more than mental or emotional injury. A workplace violent event must result in direct or indirect Serious Bodily Injury or death.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The policy is designed to cover violence against employees and anyone on or within 100 feet of the Premises for a lawful purpose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The policy does not require firearm use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The policy does not require a specific type of workplace violence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This material has been prepared for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional or legal advice of Berkley Program Specialists (\u201cBPS\u201d).
