Tell Your Senators: Support H.R.1309 - Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act

US Senate

Workplace violence is the third-leading cause of death on the job, resulting in more than 29,000 serious, lost-time injuries for workers each year. Health care and social service workers are at the greatest risk of violence on the job because of their direct contact with patients and clients.

H.R. 1309 would create a much-needed standard to prevent violence against workers and protect them from unfair retaliation if they file an incident report. This crucial bill has already been passed by the US House of Representatives and now we need the US Senate to take action to protect workers vulnerable to workplace violence.

Sign to tell your Senators to co-sponsor H.R. 1309, the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act of 2019.
