Safe Workplace Certification
for Healthcare
Overview
The Safe Workplace Certification is earned by organizations that partner with CPPS to develop a comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention and Intervention program that is consistent with National standards, OSHA directives, and best practices. Earning this distinction not only provides third-party validation of your program but demonstrates a desire to protect what matters most, your people.
How it Works
This tiered approach forms a visual basis for what a comprehensive program looks like. All five tiers of the pyramid represent the core components that must be addressed when building a violence prevention program. You can choose to work one tier at a time or all of them at once. Organizations that work with CPPS to implement this tiered approach are awarded the Safe Workplace Certification. Certification is maintained annually with ongoing improvement and maintaining consistency with prevailing Standards like those from OSHA, DNV, the Joint Commission, and ASIS/ANSI.
