Reporting an Incident of Workplace Violence

When an incident of violence occurs at the medical center, ambulatory care clinic, or offsite location, staff should: 

1. Seek safety and immediately notify UCSF PD by calling 911 
2. Immediately notify your supervisor or manager about the situation
3. Receive medical care at your closest Emergency Department or at Occupational Health Services
4. File an incident report via RL Datix.

All incidents of workplace violence that occured within the medical center must be reported via RL Datix, UCSF Health's Incident Reporting System.  A report filed in RL Datix however is not a police report.  Employees must contact UCPD to file a police report or to request emergency assistance.  UCSF will take all actions to assist the employee in reporting any incident of workplace violence.  UCSF will not take any punitive or retaliatory action against an employee seeking assistance from local emergency services or law enforcement when a violent incident occurs.  All incident reports submitted in RL Datix are automatically forwarded to the appropriate managers and offices for follow up.
