Staff Safety in the Home, Workplace Violence Prevention, and Work Injuries

Sets out how the Agency keeps staff safe while they work in patients' homes and on the road: safety screening at intake, visit planning and check-in, the right to leave or decline to enter an unsafe home without retaliation, a workplace violence prevention program, safe patient handling, driving, and how work injuries are reported and recorded under Missouri workers' compensation law (written notice within 30 days, employer report to the insurer within five days, report to the Division within 30 days) and OSHA rules (log entries within seven calendar days; fatalities reported to OSHA within eight hours, and in-patient hospitalizations, amputations and losses of an eye within 24 hours).
