Following Incidents of Injury, Threat or Violence in the Workplace
This guidance to be used following incidents of injury, threat or violence in the workplace has been carefully crafted to help trainees navigate the complexities of handling incidents of threat, violence, or injury at work. It's important to recognize that the steps for residents and fellows sometimes differ from other hospital staff (e.g., nurses, etc.) due to the unique nature of your training and specific health and disability coverage. Your safety and well-being are our top prioirities and your input is valuable in ensuring this document remains effective and pertinent. We welcome any feedback or suggestions you might have for future updates. Please send any questions or suggestions to Glenn Rosenbluth and Diana (Dee) Martinez.
