What the measure doesCRS summary

Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act

This bill requires the Department of Labor to address workplace violence in health care, social service, and other sectors.

Specifically, Labor must issue an interim occupational safety and health standard that requires certain employers to take actions to protect workers and other personnel from workplace violence. The standard applies to employers in the health care sector, in the social service sector, and in sectors that conduct activities similar to those in the health care and social service sectors.

In addition, Labor must promulgate a final standard within a specified time line.

Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing H.R. 1195 as passed House on Apr 16, 2021. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
