Staying Safe and Well at Work Safety Resources Graduate Medical Education Wellness Lexington Campus Staying Well and Safe at Work Staying Safe at Work Your Safety Matters focuses on new and updated resources to support management and reporting. UK HealthCare is committed to safety and well-being of patients, visitors, and staff in our enterprise. We take all forms of aggression, violence, and threats seriously. Sometimes frontline staff don't report these incidents, because they feel disruptive behavior is "part of the job". There is uncertainty about how and where to report. We know that workplace violence in health is growing and we are taking steps to ensure workplace safety at UK HealthCare. We want to ensure we have a healthy work and healing environment that is free from inappropriate, disruptive behavior that could hinder delivery of safety, quality patient care. This approach applies to patients, visitors and staff. Examples of aggressive behaviors include but are not limited to: Threats of any kind against the welfare of another person Physical aggression, including assault Verbal harassment, including abusive language, cursing, or sexual language Behavior that puts oneself or others in harm’s way For more information, visit the UK Provider Resources page!
