Preventing and managing patient aggression and violence

Work health and safety responsibilities

What are our Work Health and Safety (WHS) responsibilities to employees, contractors and visitors?

All practices have a responsibility under WHS laws to provide a safe working environment for staff, contractors and visitors.

Your practice must ensure, so far as is ‘reasonably practicable’, that people are not put at risk from work carried out as part of the business.

Your practice is therefore obliged to identify, and eliminate or control, risks associated with patient aggression and violence, as far as is reasonably practicable.
