Workplace violence is a serious and growing safety and health problem that has reached epidemic levels—it is now the third-leading cause of job deaths and responsible for more than 30,000 serious lost-time injuries each year.
Nurses, medical assistants, emergency responders and social workers suffer 72% of all workplace assaults. Women workers are at particular risk, suffering 2 out of every 3 serious workplace violence injuries. This legislation would create a workplace violence prevention standard to protect workers in health care and social services from injury and death. This bill passed the House on April 16, 2021.
