Return to the Workplace A risk management framework for decision makers
21 July 2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In many duty stations local pandemic conditions are resolving and consideration is being given to return to the workplace and the resumption of on-site work. (...) The approach to access, vaccination, occupancy levels, mask use, distancing, and contact tracing should wherever possible align between community and the workplace, given that:
- If the workplace is more restrictive than local rules, this will increase the likelihood of personnel not following workplace rules.
- If the workplace is more permissive than local rules, there may be reputational risk for the organization within the local community.
2. (...) The key considerations in undertaking a basic workplace risk assessment are provided in Section Two.

The Guidelines cover the following key areas of action:
■ prevention of workplace violence
■ dealing with workplace violence
■ management and mitigation of the impact of workplace violence
■ care and support of workers affected by workplace violence
■ sustainability of initiatives undertaken
Use These Guidelines should be used to:
■ develop concrete responses at the enterprise, sectorial, national and international levels
■ promote processes of dialogue, consultation, negotiation and all forms of cooperation among
governments, employers and workers, trade unions and other professional bodies, specialists
in workplace violence, and all relevant stakeholders (such as consumer/patient advocacy
groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) active in the areas of workplace vio-
lence, health and safety, human rights and gender promotion)
Framework Guidelines for Addressing Workplace Violence in the Health Sector
– 2 –
■ give effect to its contents in consultation with the interested parties: in national laws, policies
and programmes of action; in workplace/enterprise/sectorial agreements; and in workplace
policies and plans of action.
(...) This would include:
■ promoting training of health care personnel concerning the risks of workplace violence and
the mechanisms to prevent, identify and cope with such violence
■ elaborating on data collecting procedures for incidents of violence in the health sector and
promoting the collection of such data
General rights and responsibilities
– 7 –
■ incorporating in their codes of practice and codes of ethics, clauses concerning the inadmissi-
bility of any incident of violence at the workplace
■ promoting the incorporation in the accreditation procedures for health care institutions and
facilities, of a requirement of measures aimed at the prevention of violence at the workplace
■ endeavouring to have included provisions to reduce and eliminate workplace violence in
national, sectorial and workplace/enterprise agreements
■ encouraging the development of policies and plans at the workplace to combat workplace violence
■ actively contributing to promoting awareness of the risks of workplace violence
■ providing support for victims of workplace violence, including legal aid if required
2.5 ENLARGED COMMUNITY The media, research and educational institutions, specialists in workplace violence, consu-
mer/patient advocacy groups, the police and other criminal justice professionals, NGOs active in
the area of workplace violence, health and safety, human rights and gender promotion, should
actively support and participate in the initiatives to combat workplace violence. (...) Preventive meas-
ures to improve the work environment, work organisation and interpersonal relationships at
the workplace, have proved particularly effective. It is important that preventive measures are
immediately introduced when risks of workplace violence are identified without waiting for
workplace violence to manifest itself at the workplace.
3.2 PARTICIPATIVE A participatory approach, whereby all parties concerned consider it worthwhile to work together
to reduce workplace violence and where such parties have an active role in designing and imple-
menting anti-violence initiatives, should be actively promoted.

Workers can learn about how to make workplaces smoke-free at the campaign website, and they can request their management to implement a smoke-free workplace policy.
