CIVIL is a team of NIH experts which helps prevent workplace violence
through: a) policy development; b) education; c) assessment of potentially
violent incidents; and d) response to violent or potentially violent incidents.
CIVIL is not an acronym but was chosen to represent the goal of “civil
behavior in the workplace” and as the number to call from an NIH
phone for assistance (301-40-CIVIL which is 301-402-4845).
Its advisory services and assistance are available to all individuals
at NIH facilities. Callers may be helped directly or referred to other
resources. CIVIL is not intended to be used as a substitute for calling
911 when an individual feels police or other emergency help is needed.
Additional information on CIVIL is available on the CIVIL website at:
