Workplace Hazards for Cannabis Dispensary Employees
Cannabis dispensaries often carry high-value, in-demand products, making them targets for theft and violence. Employees face heightened risks during both open hours and after-hours delivery or closing procedures.
Common Injuries in Cannabis Dispensary Incidents
Workplace injuries include:
- Physical assaults or gunshot wounds
- Anxiety, PTSD, and emotional distress
- Lacerations and blunt trauma injuries
Why Workers’ Compensation Coverage Is Essential for Cannabis Dispensaries
Robust security systems, training in de-escalation, and reinforced protocols can reduce threats. However, dispensary owners must ensure Workers’ Compensation coverage is in place to protect staff.
