Resumen Report on a questionnaire survey undertaken in 5 British Health Authorities concerning violence towards staff in the health services. The survey confirmed that violence is a significant problem afflicting a wide range of occupations in hospitals and other areas of health care. There is particularly high risk to ambulance staff, nurses, accident and emergency department staff and those caring for psychologically disturbed people. Violence may, however, affect staff at almost any location, whatever their occupation or department. Guidelines aimed to help employers in health care identify the nature and extent of the risk for violence towards staff and to devise measures which would provide a safe workplace are included in the report.
