PEF, CSEA and NYSCOBA, joined forces to file a complaint within the Workplace Violence Prevention Act. The complaint was filed with the NYS Department of Labor Public Employee Safety and Health (PESH) Bureau in February 2024, who investigated whether the agency and facility were compliant and doing their best to keep workplace violence incidents to a minimum.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cDespite there being evidence that there was enough violence to warrant the investigation, PESH determined that there were controls in place and the facility was doing what it could,\u201d said PEF Occupational Health and Safety Specialist Josh Kemp.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kemp said that these controls amounted to secure zones and the facility had protocols to deal with the violence when it happened, but that incident and injury logs still reported that 50% of the violence was due to patients attacking staff, with 20 employees sent to a hospital due to injuries caused by a single patient.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe gathered a lot of evidence that showed that, even though there were some controls, they were not effective<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">enough,\u201d said Kemp. \u201cPeople were still getting seriously hurt.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When the PESH investigation yielded little results, Kemp decided to look at the issues from a different perspective. He turned his focus to the lack of Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cMost of us think of PPE as masks, face shields and goggles,\u201d said Kemp. \u201cWe\u2019re used to the type of PPE that protects us from chemicals and illness, but not the type that protects from physical harm.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the investigation, employees shared their personal stories. Most of them described how they were bitten, kicked and punched by patients. However, the most glaring issue was the lack of knowledge about how to use PPE.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhen we asked them if they used PPE to protect themselves, if offered, no one knew it was an option,\u201d said Kemp.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kemp, along with representatives from the other unions, returned to PESH to file a complaint again, stating that while there are controls in place to handle some violence, the facility was neither providing adequate PPE to the staff, nor training them on how to effectively use that PPE. Equipment such as bite guards, shin guards, protective head gear, shields and other forms of PPE should be available to protect staff members dealing with a potentially violent patient population.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe risk to the staff was no longer just chemical spills,\u201d said PEF Director of Health and Safety Geraldine Stella. \u201cNow, the human factor is the hazard.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">PESH agreed with the unions that STARC Oakview did not do enough to provide PPE to staff. In a notice of violation sent to the facility in September 2024, PESH filed four citations for the facility to address the inadequacies at the location.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The facility must first provide employees with the appropriate PPE and protective clothing, including hand protection, which falls under a different legal citation. The facility must also do a better job at determining whether this PPE is needed based on reported hazards. According to the violation notice from PESH, the employer kept the appropriate logs to document incidents, but did not respond to incidents or assess the hazards properly in order to offer the appropriate PPE.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Additional citations state that the employer did not provide injury and incident reports in a timely manner. Those logs were eventually received by PEF and the other unions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A change to the citations was issued on November 14, 2024. The change removed the requirement for the facility to train individuals on how to effectively implement and use PPE provided by the agency.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The revision, according to Kemp, means that if the facility does not properly train employees on the use of PPE, PEF can submit a new complaint.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kemp said that this is a win for PEF members and all employees at Oakview who were looking for a long-term solution to a problem that most thought would never go away. However, he also said that he knows the facility may push back.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019re expecting the agency to think that we want everyone just walking around in PPE,\u201d said Kemp. \u201cBut that\u2019s not true. They already have a hierarchy of controls to figure out the best course of action. The PPE is just meant as another control when needed. Another tool in the box.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">PEF is hopeful that Oakview complies soon. In the revised notice of violation, PESH gave the agency until January 29, 2025, to provide the recommended PPE.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">PEF is also hopeful that all members at the Office of Mental Health (OMH) and other agencies where workplace violence is a paramount concern, like the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD), see the approach the union has taken to address it at Oakview in the hope that similar outcomes might be helpful in other facilities.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThis is why members and leaders should be reaching out to PEF Health and Safety,\u201d said Stella. \u201cIf they want to make a PESH complaint, we can really help them finesse the complaint and get results.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kemp said that workers at OMH, OPWDD, and other agencies are exhausted and fed up with the danger their job poses, but he believes this approach could work to bring effective controls and much needed conversation to health and safety committees.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe people who work at these agencies love the work they do, but many believe that getting attacked is just \u2018part of the job\u2019 and that there is nothing they can do,\u201d said Kemp. \u201cWe really want to change the entire culture to protect our members.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Editor\u2019s Note: If you have a health and safety complaint related to your worksite, please contact your Field Representative.
