NYSNA's Workplace Violence Brochure

NEW: Workplace Violence in the Healthcare Setting

Nurse Felony Assault Law Fact Sheet. The fact sheet includes what constitutes a felony assault and what to do if you are assaulted on the job.

Standards by the Joint Commission (TJC) place additional requirements on accredited employers related to the prevention of violence in the workplace. The newest standards went into effect as of January 1, 2022. Although the TJC has been slow to adequately address the crisis of workplace violence in healthcare settings, NYSNA welcomes TJC’s renewed focus on this issue.
