Society seems, somehow, to be getting more violent. And that means that working life is more likely to experience violent incidents – which means, of course, workers are more at risk.

You can grab yourself a 15% saving on the cover price of the LRD pamphlet by visiting lrd.org.uk and using the code UNIONDUES at the checkout. Alternatively, visit the companion blog here where you can scan a QR code.
