About this file
This is a Workplace Violence Prevention Policy Statement for 2026 prepared by the Village of Medina, New York in connection with an engineering services procurement for the Canal Basin Park enhancement project. The document outlines the village's commitment to maintaining a safe workplace environment and establishing protocols to prevent violent incidents. The policy establishes a framework for identifying workplace violence risks, implementing preventive measures, and responding to threatening behavior or violent incidents. The statement serves as a foundational document for organizations bidding on the Canal Basin Park project, ensuring that all contractors and their employees comply with workplace safety standards and violence prevention protocols during project execution.
The policy statement establishes mandatory compliance requirements for all parties involved in the engineering services contract, including contractors, subcontractors, and their personnel. It defines workplace violence broadly to include physical assaults, threats, harassment, and intimidating behavior that could compromise employee safety or project operations. The document likely requires contractors to develop their own workplace violence prevention plans, conduct employee training, maintain incident reporting procedures, and establish clear communication channels for safety concerns. This policy aligns with the Village of Medina's broader objectives for the $1,345,000 New York Forward Grant project and supports the achievement of Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) contracting goals of 15 percent for both categories while ensuring a secure work environment throughout the project's duration.

Workplace Violence Prevention Policy Statement
VILLAGE OF MEDINA is committed to the safety and security of our employees. Workplace violence presents a serious occupational safety hazard to our agency, staff, and clients.
Workplace Violence is defined as any physical assault or act of aggressive behavior occurring where a public employee performs any work-related duty in the course of his or her employment including but not limited to an attempt or threat, whether verbal or physical, to inflict physical injury upon an employee; any intentional display of force which Would give an employee reason to fear or expect bodily harm; intentional and wrongful physical contact with a person without his or her consent that entails some injury; or stalking an employee with the intent of causing fear of material harm to the physical safety and health of such employee when such stalking has arisen through and in the course of employment.
Acts of violence against any of our employees where any work related duty is performed will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate action will be taken, including involving law enforcement authorities when warranted. All employees are responsible for helping to create an environment of mutual respect for each other as well as clients and Visitors, following all policies, procedures and practices, and for assisting in maintaining a safe and secure work environment.
This policy is designed to meet the requirements of New York State Labor Law Art. 2 §27-b and highlights some of the elements that are found within our Workplace Violence Prevention Program.
The process involved in complying with this law includes a workplace evaluation that is designed to identify the risks of workplace violence to which our employees could be exposed. Authorized Employee Representative will, at a minimum, be involved in:
• evaluating the physical environment;
• developing the Workplace Violence Prevention Program; and
• reviewing workplace violence incident reports at least annually to identify trends in the types of incidents reported, if any, and reviewing the effectiveness of the mitigating actions taken.
All employees will participate in the annual Workplace Violence Prevention Training Program. The goal of this policy is to promote the safety and well-being of all people in our workplace. All incidents of violence or threatening behavior will be responded to immediately upon notification. All personnel are responsible for notifying the contact person designated below of any violent incidents, threatening behavior, including threats they have witnessed, received, or have been told that another person has witnessed or received.
