摘要

OSHA has issued a directive, "Enforcement Procedures for Investigating or Inspecting Incidents of Workplace Violence." It establishes uniform procedures for OSHA field staff when responding to incidents and complaints of workplace violence, and when conducting inspections in industries considered vulnerable to workplace violence, such as healthcare and social service settings, as well as late-night retail establishments. Workplace violence is a serious occupational hazard, ranking among the top four causes of death in workplaces during the past 15 years. More than 3,000 people died from workplace homicide between 2006 and 2010, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Additional BLS data indicate that an average of more than 15,000 nonfatal workplace injury cases was reported annually during this time. Studies by NIOSH and other organizations show that employers which implement effective safety measures can reduce the incidence of workplace violence. These measures include training employees, conducting hazard analyses, and encouraging employees to report assaults or threats. Other measures include entrance door detectors or buzzer systems in retail establishments, and providing adequately trained staff, alarms and employee safe rooms for use during emergencies in healthcare settings. Find the directive and additional information on workplace violence at www.osha.gov/SLTC/workplaceviolence/index.html.
