Your Experiences With Workplace Violence

Health care workers are targeted for violent assaults in the workplace more often than all workers, save for police officers.

UNAC/UHCP is starting a campaign to address workplace violence, and your stories will help us explain the issue to the community and press for solutions in our workplace.

UNAC/UHCP members and staff have testified before Cal/OSHA about our experiences with violent assault, and made YouTube videos discussing those experiences, to help drive the issue home for regulators.

Everything you tell us here will remain confidential, unless you give us permission to use it.

We ask for your name and email so that we can follow up with you as needed. We will not use your stories or identifying information without your permission.
