On December 1, 2015, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) launched a new web page in an effort to assist healthcare providers in curtailing violence in their workplaces. The page offers links to excellent resources on establishing a prevention program; workplace analysis and hazard identification; hazard prevention and control; safety and health training; and recordkeeping and program evaluation. The web page also includes information about legal requirements in various states and other valuable information for healthcare providers.
