title: Special report. NIOSH: new facts about violence against healthcare workers and security officers.
abstract: A definitive compilation and analysis by NIOSH (National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health) of recent studies measuring violence in the workplace presents the clearest picture to date of the nature and frequency of such violence and which employees are at greatest risk. For managers in security and health care, the NIOSH statistics are especially important. In this report, we'll review what we believe are the most significant findings of NIOSH and other sources and present details of programs designed to prevent healthcare workers from becoming victims of violence.
