OSHA Workplace Violence Guideline Highlights
The U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has written a guidance document to help employers of healthcare and social service workers across various settings address risks of job-related violence. The guidelines identify five healthcare workplace settings. The resources, checklists, and program development tools that reference the Field Work and Community Care settings are the most relevant for home care organizations.
The content found in the document below is adapted from the “Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Healthcare and Social Service Workers” (OSHA, 3148-06R 2016). Please refer to the full set of Guidelines as you develop, evaluate, and/or amend your organization’s Workplace Violence Prevention Program.
