Reducing Workplace Violence in Gas Stations and Convenience Stores: for Employees

This fact sheet (based on a Workplace Solutions document) describes how workers can reduce the risk of violence at gasoline stations and convenience stores. Workers in these settings are at a higher risk for violence compared with other retail workers and the overall workforce. NIOSH recommends steps to reduce this risk including taking training, remaining alert to potentially violent situations, and being familiar with exits, alarms, and emergency numbers.
