Workplace Violence

 
​

Violence. Not Part of the Job.

​Violence in BC health care facilities has reached shocking levels, with nurses on the front line. Nurses are now more likely than law enforcement and security workers to have a violent injury claim. On average 26 nurses a month in BC suffer a violent injury at work. ​REA​D MO​​RE​​​​
