🛡️
Violence Risk Assessment (VRA) System
Impact Without This Program:

Without proper violence prevention, healthcare workers experience depression, anxiety, fear, and anger. Many consider leaving their jobs, and work motivation significantly decreases. These psychological impacts directly harm both staff wellbeing and patient care quality.

Based on: Healthcare Violence Prevention Standards + Canadian Occupational Health Standards – OHS Regulation
Expected Result: 5-15% reduction in physical assaults, 10-20% reduction in staff injuries from violence

Key Deliverables:

✓ VRA Assessment Template (English)

✓ 50-100% increase in incident reporting

Tools & Resources

● Utilize existing SRS system for reporting
● Establish reporting policies, guidelines and training
● Real-time risk assessment tools
● De-escalation training modules
🦠
Biological Exposure Control Program (Bio-ECP)
Impact Without This Program:

Needlestick injuries and infectious disease exposures create immediate health risks, require costly post-exposure prophylaxis, generate significant anxiety about infection, and can lead to long-term health consequences.

Based on: Health Canada Biosafety Guidelines + Canadian Occupational Health Standards – Biological Hazard Regulations + Interior Health Respiratory Protection Program + Infection Control Standards
Expected Result: 20-30% reduction in needlestick/sharps injuries, 15-25% reduction in post-exposure cases, 95% respiratory protection compliance
