OSHA’s general duty clause requires you to provide your staff with a place to work that is “free from recognized hazards … likely to cause death or serious physical harm.” In healthcare, this definitely includes workplace violence.
In addition to OSHA requirements, multiple states have workplace violence prevention laws. In combination, they bolster the policies and procedures necessary to protect your employees and reduce your practice’s legal risk.
The good news is you don’t have to figure out exactly what policies and procedures you must implement to adhere to OSHA and state laws. Instead, healthcare compliance expert Michelle A Richards, BSHA, CPC, CPCO, CPMA, can walk you through the process.
