Weekly poll: Workplace violence
The startling story about the death of Yale graduate student Annie M. Le, whose body was found in the wall of a laboratory, has been a shocking reminder that workplace violence can be more serious than we’d all like to believe.
Between unruly patients and the high stress environment, workplace violence can be especially prevalent in the healthcare setting, which makes it even more important to have policies and training to recognize and prevent violence so that employees feel safe coming to work.
Does your facility have these policies in place? Do you feel safe coming to work?

It is a great opportunity for you to let us know what is going on at your facility, while also getting a look at what your peers have to say. Every week we will post a new question related to healthcare safety. As always, if you have any burning questions of your own, post them in the comments section below and it could become a featured poll question.
