A recent OSHA inspection of a Maine psychiatric hospital found more than 90 instances from 2008 through 2010 in which workers were assaulted on the job by patients.

OSHA has also recently cited facilities in New York and Massachusetts where employees have been killed as a result of assaults.

The challenge for many will be in navigating the more than 700 exhibits across 230,000+ square feet to find the best solutions.
