Violence at Work
In the health and community services industry you may be at risk of injury or harm from violent acts. You may have to work with patients who are confused or unwell and who may be prone to violent outbursts or aggressive acts.
Non- physical violence such as verbal abuse, intimidation and threatening behaviour may cause you to feel stressed.
Your employer should take steps to protect you from violence at work. Talk to your supervisor if you feel threatened or are unsure how to deal with violent persons at work.
