@the.legal.np: Federal & State Laws on Healthcare Workplace Violence • OSHA General Duty Clause Under the OSHA General Duty Clause, employers must provide a workplace “free from recognized serious hazards” — which includes workplace violence risks even though OSHA has not yet issued a specific violence-prevention standard. As of 2024, OSHA continues enforcement through this clause. • State Laws Several states have enacted their own healthcare workplace-violence prevention laws. • California: SB 1299 requires hospitals to maintain workplace violence prevention plans, incident reporting, and training. • Texas: Texas Health & Safety Code §331.101 requires healthcare facilities to adopt written violence-prevention policies, establish committees, and train staff. • Federal Bill (Pending) The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (H.R. 1195) passed the U.S. House of Representatives and would direct OSHA to create a nationwide workplace-violence prevention standard for healthcare and social service settings. It is currently awaiting action in the Senate. #socialworkersoftiktok #nursesoftiktok #healthcareworker #healthcare #nurselife
It took a shooting in our ED to finally get a metal detector that we had been asking for for years

In Louisiana, assaulting a healthcare worker is a felony, and staff have pressed charges on the assaulter before

Only problem with metal detector in the ER is the lack of metal detectors at the rest of the doors.

Every time they vote to move the federal bill out of committee for a vote the AHA (American Hospital Association) lobbies against it. And the ANA (American Nurses Association) has sided with them in the past. Think about that for a minute…. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The problem is that they usually just blame the nurse and threaten to fire them if they call and report it 😞

That’s why I don’t try to get in the way of any pt that is displaying aggressive behavior, I call security and if they want to leave on their own volition I document and alert the md. My life has value too.

This is so sickening! Everything you said is 💯 correct! The last 15 yrs of my 46 yr career I worked in corrections. I felt much safer than I had at any other job. I believe that walking into a hospital should be similar to walking into a prison: there is an officer in a bullet proof area, you have to put all of your belongings through a scanner & walk through a metal detector, then the officer has to open a slider door for you. This process is just for the staff. The process for visitors is much more involved. There is a set of rules for visitors which includes clothing styles. Visitors are turned away if they do not follow the rules, even if they have driven for hours to see their loved one. It is extremely unsafe to have numerous pts & staff in an unsecured facility. Hospitals use the excuse "we don't want pts thinking that the hospital is unsafe" to avoid the cost of security. That makes no sense because currently hospital pts & staff are NOT safe. Security measures help everyone to stay safe!
