Description:

The incidence and severity of occupational violence varies across health care occupations because risk factors differ between locations and according to job tasks. Patterns of violence also vary because some health workplaces adopt improved prevention. This discussion paper provides an overview of some of the strategies that may reduce the incidence and severity of occupational violence. [adapted from author]
