What the source explains
NIOSH developed this learning resource for nurses and healthcare professionals. It offers an accessible way to introduce workplace violence before a local workshop. Course availability, completion requirements and any continuing-education credit remain controlled by the provider. Reading this summary or completing a website checklist is not equivalent to professional certification or competence in managing a physical confrontation.
Using this reading in your hospital
Ask participants to bring one learning point and one question about their own workplace. Use the discussion to identify gaps in local procedures, especially who responds when help is requested. Arrange role-appropriate practical instruction through the institution where needed.
A question for your team
After external training, can every participant identify the assistance route used in their own department?
