Workplace Violence Prevention in the Health and Community Care Sector (DVD) - The Ontario health and community care sector currently has the highest provincial rate of lost-time injuries due to workplace violence. All too often, incidents go unreported and in some cases are even considered part of the job! This important DVD, funded by the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care and released in 2008, is the first educational video available on this topic for the health and community care sector. Look for an updated edition spring 2010, which will include information on the amendments to the OHS Act effective June 15, 2010, as well as more information on Domestic Violence in the workplace.
