Assault at work

The QNMU has a zero tolerance position on occupational violence and aggression. All employers have a responsibility to protect the safety of their employees and prevent abuse or assault from occurring. Nurses and midwives have an obligation to take reasonable care at work. This policy operates in conjunction with the QNMU’s policies - Sexual Harassment, Inappropriate Behaviour and Harassment in the Workplace, Occupational Violence and Aggression and Security at Work – and the Assault at Work brochure.
