Diga aos seus legisladores: protejam os profissionais de saúde que estão na linha da frente.

A violência no local de trabalho é um problema muito real e grave que afeta toda a equipa de cuidados de saúde. No meio da escassez de profissionais de saúde, este é o momento para Massachusetts ser um líder ao enfrentar a crescente crise de violência que os trabalhadores da linha da frente têm de enfrentar diariamente enquanto desempenham as suas funções de cuidar dos pacientes.

O projeto de lei «An Act requiring health care employers to develop and implement programs to prevent workplace violence» obrigará todos os hospitais a envolverem a equipa da linha da frente no desenvolvimento de avaliações de risco específicas para cada unidade e em programas abrangentes de prevenção da violência, a fim de proteger a segurança e o
bem-estar dos profissionais de saúde. É fundamental que tomemos medidas legislativas urgentes para reforçar a fiscalização através dos requisitos de licenciamento do Departamento de Saúde Pública e melhorar as proteções laborais para os trabalhadores, o que inclui uma licença remunerada adicional para os colaboradores que sofram agressões.

En este momento, nuestros legisladores deben apoyarnos. La Cámara de Representantes ya aprobó este proyecto de ley, y ahora necesitamos el apoyo de nuestros senadores. Tome iniciativa agradecendo ao seu representante estatal pela sua defesa e apoio, e incentive também o seu senador a dar prioridade aos profissionais de saúde e a comprometer-se com a proteção da nossa segurança, aprovando este projeto de lei.

Subject: Protect the safety and well-being of frontline hospital workers and those we care for

Message:

Dear Senator,

As a hospital worker and member of 1199SEIU, I urge you to stand with us and pass An Act Requiring Health Care Employers to Develop and Implement Programs to Prevent Workplace Violence to protect the safety and well-being of frontline caregivers.

Workplace violence is a very real and serious problem that affects the whole care team. In the midst of a health care worker shortage, this is a moment for Massachusetts to be a leader in addressing the growing crisis of violence that frontline workers face daily while doing our jobs of caring for patients.

This bill will require all hospitals to engage frontline staff in developing facility-specific risk assessments and comprehensive violence prevention programs, as well as strengthen enforcement through DPH licensing requirements and enhance job protections for workers, including additional paid leave for employees who are assaulted.

In order for hospital workers to be able to remain in the jobs we love, we can no longer accept any abuse. We are looking to our legislators to step up as healthcare champions who will protect the future of care in Massachusetts.

Thank you in advance for leading in this moment to prioritize caregivers and commit to protecting our safety while we care for our Massachusetts communities.

Message:

Dear Representative,

As a hospital worker and member of 1199SEIU, thank you and the entire House for passing An Act Requiring Health Care Employers to Develop and Implement Programs to Prevent Workplace Violence.

Healthcare workers are on the frontlines and are critical to keeping those we care for safe. It is important that we recognize the growing crisis of workplace violence that caregivers face daily and prioritize the well-being of caregivers as well. I am happy to see that this bill requires our hospitals to work with us in developing facility-specific risk assessments and comprehensive violence prevention programs to keep us safe on the job.

While the healthcare staffing shortage continues and the need for care continues to grow, this urgent legislative action is needed to strengthen enforcement through DPH licensing requirements, and improving job protections for workers, including additional paid leave for employees who experience violence at work. In order for hospital workers to be able to remain in the jobs we love, we cannot continue to accept any workplace abuse.

Thank you for leading in this moment to prioritize caregivers and commit to protecting our safety while we care for our Massachusetts communities.
