Abuse & Threatening Behavior Sample Clauses

Abuse & Threatening Behavior. The parties agree that abuse and/or threatening behavior is not tolerated. Staff are to be treated with respect and dignity. Abuse or threatening behavior shall include, but not be limited to the following: physical abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse. In order to provide and maintain an environment free of abuse/threatening behavior all residents, family members, volunteers and persons having practicing privileges shall be informed that abuse/threatening behavior towards staff will not be tolerated. The parties further agree that the long-term care environment contains residents who may, through no fault of their own, exhibit behaviors and actions that are unwelcome to staff. The workplace is built around managing these behaviors to the benefit of both the residents and the staff. There will be no backlash or retaliation for the lodging of a complaint or participation in an investigation made in good faith. It is agreed that when the employee is faced with the abovementioned abuse it may be necessary for that employee to leave the threatening situation and notify his/her immediate supervisor who will assess the situation and give further direction. In the event that the abuse is from a resident, it is agreed that no employee will be obligated to work with the resident one-on-one. In the event that a cognitive resident continues with the abuse/threatening behavior, the staff member shall be given the opportunity to transfer to a different work area, or be assigned a different resident. The incident will be documented on the resident care plan/chart with a clear course of action for staff to follow when providing care to the resident, and a copy of the incident will be provided to the Director of Nursing. If the abuse/threatening behavior involves a resident the multidisciplinary team will do a full assessment of the situation and develop a plan of action. In the event that the resident knowingly and willingly continues the abusive behavior, it will be documented and the Employer will suggest the resident shall be referred to an appropriate facility. If the abuse/threatening behavior involves a non-resident, the management team will investigate the complaint and, if warranted, the individual will be put on notice that their behavior is unacceptable. If the behavior continues, appropriate action will be taken.
