Healthcare providers have and continue to face harassment and sometimes violence from patients and clients when delivering care. There is a growing recognition and appreciation of the importance of psychological health and safety in the workplace.
This session will explore:
- Employer’s obligations when it comes to harassment and violence of staff by those they are entrusted to care for: patients, residents and clients.
- What are an employer’s health and safety requirements?
- What entitlements exist under workplace safety and insurance legislation?
- And how have adjudicators grappled with these issues?
This presentation will provide some answers and practical advice to these questions.
We hope you can join us.
