Safe@work was created in 2000 by a coalition of private employers, trade unions, domestic violence advocacy groups, and government organizations. Its mission is to demystify domestic violence for employers and unions and to provide guidance on creating an environment where this historically "private" problem can be openly and effectively addressed. The result of the coalition's work was the creation of this Web site, which provides a wealth of information from experts and on 'best practices' in one central place. The goals of the Safe@work Web site are to:

• Inform and educate employers and unions on the importance of addressing the issue of domestic violence in the workplace and how to develop and implement domestic violence policies.
• Inform and educate employers and unions on how to develop and implement domestic violence policies.
• Provide tangible and actionable information and resources for employers and unions.
