SAFE015 - Preventing Workplace Violence
To enhance the participant’s awareness of workplace violence, risks, risk factors, and prevention strategies.
Several studies indicate that violence often takes place during times of high activity and interaction with patients, such as at meal times and during visiting hours and patient transportation. Assaults may occur when service is denied, when a patient is involuntarily admitted, or when a health care worker attempts to set limits on eating, drinking, or tobacco or alcohol use. Through awareness, however, risk factors for violence can be reduced in the healthcare setting.
