Workplace violence has become a growing concern in the healthcare industry. According to OSHA, workplace violence includes any act of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other threatening behavior that occurs at the workplace. To prevent such incidents from occurring, it is important to establish a comprehensive workplace violence prevention program and provide adequate training to employees.
