The Man Who Died Twice

Have you ever been afraid to go to work because you fear violence happening to you there? Would you know what to do if confronted with harassment, bullying, threats, or extreme physical violence where you work?

This is the deeply personal, heartbreaking story of one man, Ryan Portscheller, who experienced deadly workplace violence twice, followed by the long road to justice for his family.

This story is not only the memoir of his family's trauma caused by workplace violence; it also serves as a resource for information about workplace violence prevention and mitigation.

Inside this story, you will discover:

-How to recognize when someone at your workplace has crossed the line into violence with what they say or do

-Steps employers can (and should) take to establish a cost-effective program for preventing and mitigating workplace violence

-What employees can do to become more aware that they are not powerless against the threat of workplace violence

The sad truth is that we live in an ever more violent world. More than one in five people employed have experienced violence and harassment in the workplace. Because of those who choose violence as a solution to their problems, life is dangerous for the rest of us. This book helps shine a light on this insidious problem. 

Regina Portscheller is an experienced instructor and speaker on security topics, especially workplace violence. She maintains that changes in employers' and employees' awareness and procedures can create much safer places to go to work or do business. Regina lives in Mesa, Arizona with her husband Ray and their little chihuahua, Mocha.
