prevention standard for health care and social service sectors. On December 6, 2016, OSHA issued a Request for Information (RFI) soliciting information on this issue. On January 10, 2017, OSHA conducted a public meeting to receive stakeholder input and to supplement the online comments submitted in response to the RFI. At that meeting, OSHA announced it accepted the petitions and would develop a Federal standard to prevent workplace violence in health care and social service settings. In the spring of 2017, the workplace violence prevention standard was removed from active consideration and placed on the Department of Labor’s long-term agenda . Subsequently, it was placed back on the regulatory agenda. OSHA’s efforts to move forward with rulemaking have been halting and inconsistent. Therefore, legislation is necessary to ensure the timely development of a standard to protect workers in health care and social service settings. 3.
