Plain-English Summary

Healthcare and social service workers would gain new federal protections against workplace violence, including requirements for employers to develop safety plans, train staff on de-escalation techniques, and report violent incidents. The law would apply to hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, mental health facilities, and other organizations providing health or social services. These protections aim to reduce injuries and trauma for nurses, doctors, therapists, and other frontline workers who face high rates of assault on the job.
