Workplace Violence in Ambulatory Care

Course overview

Many office practices do not have any policies or processes in place to reduce the risk of workplace violence.

The national Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to take reasonable steps to avert or reduce workplace violence threats. This monograph is intended as a primer to give you some ideas and resources for getting started on making your practice safer and more resistant to workplace violence incidents.
