“I include in the Record a letter of support for H.R. 1195 from the CEO of AIHA, Mr. Sloan. AIHA. Support for H.R. 1195, Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act Rep. Robert C. ``Bobby'' Scott, Chair, Education and Labor Committee, House of Representatives. Rep. Virginia Foxx, Ranking Member, Education and Labor Committee, House of Representatives. Dear Chairman Scott, Ranking Member Foxx, and Members of the Committee: On behalf of AIHA, which represents scientists and professionals committed to preserving and ensuring occupational and environmental health and safety in the workplace and community, I urge you to quickly approve H.R. 1195, the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act. AIHA supports this bipartisan bill, which has 120 cosponsors and would address workplace violence in health care and social service settings. Violence in these industries remains a leading cause of traumatic workplace injury and death in the US. The bill would help solve this problem by requiring covered employers to develop and implement comprehensive workplace violence prevention plans that are tailored to meet their individual needs. AIHA looks forward to our continued work together on workplace violence and other occupational and environmental health and safety issues. Sincerely, Lawrence D. Sloan, Chief Executive Officer, AIHA.”
