Violence Prevention

Violence in the workplace is a complex issue requiring a multi-faceted response. Investing in violence prevention training and strategies can make workplaces safer for workers and improve the quality of care for residents and clients.

Violence Risk Assessment
The Violence Risk Assessment Toolkit was created to help guide you through the process of conducting a violence risk assessment. The risk assessment is a key part of an organization’s overall violence prevention program, a requirement under WorkSafeBC regulations. The Assessment tools below give you everything you need to get started. We have even created an easy to use quick reference guide.
Point of Care Assessment
The Point of Care Assessment was created to help you continually assess risk. There are a series of questions to ask yourself about the Person in Care, the Environment, the Task and Yourself.
