Prohibiting employment termination of employee who defends themselves from attack inside workplace

SB 567 prohibits employers from terminating employees who use reasonable force, including deadly force when necessary to prevent death or serious harm, to defend themselves or others during an attack at work. It applies when the attacker is not a co-worker and the employee reasonably believes they or others face imminent danger. The law ensures employees cannot face job loss solely for using such force in self-defense, as long as it is reasonable and proportionate. This extends workplace self-defense protections under existing West Virginia law.
