On Sept. 17, 2015, between 2-3:30pm ET, AHCA will host a webinar entitled, “Strategies for Addressing Workplace Violence in Healthcare Facilities and Ensuring Compliance with OSHA’s New Guidelines.” Healthcare workers face an increased risk of workplace violence in their work and data suggests that 70% of workplace assaults occur in the healthcare industry. In response, OSHA recently released an update to its Guidelines for Preventing Workplace Violence for Healthcare and Social Service Workers and it has indicated that it will focus on the hazards associated with workplace violence in all healthcare industry inspections. The publication includes suggested best practices and provides some insight on how to reduce the risk of violence in various healthcare and social service settings. Attend our webinar to learn about the new OSHA guidelines and strategies that can help you successfully address the unique challenges that the healthcare industry faces in tackling this workplace challenge.

In addition, on Tuesday, September 1, 2015, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET, the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center will hold a webinar entitled Dementia Friendly Communities on “creating communities that are safe and respectful, provide support, and work toward quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. Webinar participants will learn about key concepts related to Dementia Friendly Communities and hear from community leaders putting these concepts into action.” You can register for the webinar here.
