Post-incident response and evaluation are important parts of an effective violence prevention program. The Retail/Convenience Store Security: Post-Incident Response mobile app involves developing standard operating procedures for management and employees to follow in the aftermath of a violent incident.

As a starting point for the hazard analysis, the employer reviews the experience of the business over the previous 2 or 3 years. This involves collecting and examining any existing records that may shed light on the magnitude and prevalence of the risk of workplace violence. In some cases, management may not be aware of incidents of low-intensity conflict or threats of violence to which their employees have been exposed. To learn of such incidents, the employer should use the Retail/Convenience Store Security: Review of Records and Past Incidents mobile app to ask employees about their experience while working for the business. The app includes questions that may be helpful in compiling information about past incidents.

To ensure an effective security program, management, front-line employees, and employee representatives need to work together in the structure and operation of their violence prevention program. Front-line employees are an important source of information about the operations of the business and the environment in which the business operates. Employees who have a role in developing prevention programs are more likely to support and carry out those programs. Employees should be involved in nearly every aspect of a violence prevention program. Their involvement includes using the Retail/ Convenience Store Security: Employee Involvement app with your smartphone or tablet.

Good records help employers determine the severity of the risks, evaluate the methods of hazard control, and identify training needs. An effective violence prevention program will use records of injuries, illnesses, incidents, hazards, corrective actions, and training to help identify problems and solutions for a safe and healthful workplace. Employers can tailor their record keeping practices to the needs of their violence prevention program. The Retail/Convenience Store Security: Record keeping mobile app enables employers to monitor on-going efforts, to determine if the violence prevention program is working, and to identify ways to improve it.
