Winnipeg Free Press Article
Based on recommendations from the Manitoba Nurses Union, the provincial government has developed a violence free workplace strategy, with changes being implemented by the end of August 2011.
In addition to the prominent placement of violence and abuse free signage in all health care facilities across the province, the policy requires:
all health care facilities to develop a violence prevention policy and strategy;
a procedure for summoning immediate assistance procedure for flagging potentionally violent individuals; and
a system for reporting and reviewing incidents.
Further regulation changes can be viewed at Safe Work .
