DESCRIPTION:   

The Western Sydney Local Health District (WSLHD) Creating a Safe Workplace Program has been initiated across Emergency Departments throughout the WSLHD since 2015. Emergency Departments have been identified as “high risk areas” due to the high number of incidents of aggression and challenging situations recorded by staff in the state-wide Incident Information Management System (IIMS). Due to the success of the program, it is now also being rolled out to other high risk areas in the WSLHD.

TARGET AUDIENCE:   

All clinical and non-clinical staff. Priority is given to staff in high risk departments (Emergency Departments, Security, Aged Care, Midwifery and Early Childhood, Maternity, Brain Injury, Neurology, and Oral Health).

Training is to be repeated every two years for all staff in the identified high risk areas.

To meet the NSW Policy Directive (NSW PD2017_043: Violence Prevention & Management Training Framework for the NSW Public Health System), the goal is for all staff within the identified high risk areas to have undertaken the Creating a Safe Workplace Program by the end of 2019.
