OSHA has developed final "Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence
OSHA has developed final "Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Health Care and Social Service Workers" and draft guidelines for night retail establishments. The intent of the guidelines is to educate employers on finding ways to provide a more secure work environment. Consequently, OSHA hopes that employers will voluntarily implement workplace violence protection programs. Workplace violence has emerged as an important safety issue in today's workplaces. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) fatality data, assaults and violent acts caused 20 percent of the fatal occupational injuries in the United States in 1994.
Georgia Worker's Compensation Lawyers are attorneys who specialize
in Workers Compensation law and all aspects relating to that field.
Workers' Compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees
who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with fixed monetary
compensation; thus, eliminating the need for frivolous litigation. But sometimes companies
and private employers subvert these laws and fail to pay sufficient
money to those injured or disabled on the job.
