Summary - Workplace Violence Prevention for Healthcare and Social Services Workers Act - 2022

As some of you may know, workplace violence against healthcare workers and social services workers has been on the rise in the last few years, thanks in so small part to the Covid-19 global pandemic.

Thankfully, some people in the U.S. government have started to notice this is a problem that isn't going away anytime soon and is affecting every corner of the industry. This has led to what is known as the Workplace Violence Prevention for Healthcare and Social Services Workers Act.

However, it is written in legal gibberish and is difficult to understand, so I have translated it from Legalese to regular-people-talk and summarized the details to help YOU understand the legislature that may finally make hospitals a safer place to work.
