Workplace violence incidents continue to rise across industries, and healthcare is bearing the brunt of post-pandemic aggression, according to Risk & Insurance.

The outlet reports that prevention efforts focused on culture, documentation, and leadership accountability, noting that employers face the issue across nearly every industry.

Risk & Insurance says legislation alone is not solving the problem, with 22 states now having some form of regulatory framework for workplace violence reporting in healthcare settings, and California and Nevada leading on stringency.

At the National Comp conference in Las Vegas on Sept. 29, a panel of experts discussed why incidents are climbing and what employers may be missing in their prevention systems.
