What can security personnel be exposed to in terms of workplace violence?

  1. Angry customers and clients

  2. Harassment and threats

  3. Suspicious packages

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

Security personnel work in an environment where they could potentially be exposed to several forms of workplace violence. This could occur in their interactions with irritated or dissatisfied customers and clients, where they can become victims of verbal or physical abuse. They could also face harassment and threats, either from individuals they deal with during their work or sometimes from co-workers. Additionally, as part of their job, security personnel often deal with objects and packages, and these might contain hazardous materials or could be suspicious in nature - for instance, if it's a bomb or a biological threat. Therefore, all the options listed contribute to the forms of workplace violence that security personnel can be exposed to, making 'all of the above' the correct answer.
