Washington – OSHA has announced a Request for Information on whether the agency should propose a standard aimed at preventing workplace violence in the health care and social assistance sectors.
The RFI follows a report from the Government Accountability Office that found rates of workplace violence in those industries are “substantially higher” than in private industry overall. The full extent of the issue is unknown, GAO stated, but the most recent available data from 2013 showed that health care workers at in-patient facilities, including hospitals and nursing and residential care facilities, experienced a rate of workplace violence five to 12 times greater than the general private-sector worker population.
