Healthcare Workplace Violence Prevention in Austin
VIGILO builds survey-defensible workplace violence prevention programs for Austin-area hospitals, freestanding ERs, ambulatory surgery centers, behavioral health, and long-term care, aligned to Texas HSC Chapter 331, the HHSC rule for each license class, the Joint Commission, and OSHA.
From a growing hospital footprint to a dense network of surgery centers, covered Central Texas facilities carry the same Chapter 331 obligation. We build the committee, plan, training, and survey-readiness binder, on flat fees, on-site in the Austin area.

Austin WVP FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve smaller Austin clinics and surgery centers?
Yes. ASCs are a named covered class regardless of acuity; clinics and private physician practices are not covered by Chapter 331. We right-size a compliant program for smaller settings without a hospital-sized apparatus, at boutique flat-fee pricing.
Is on-site training available in the Austin area?
Yes: instructor-led de-escalation and workplace violence training, English and Spanish, documented for your survey file and delivered on-site across Central Texas.
When was Chapter 331 compliance required?
The compliance deadline was September 1, 2024 for the facility classes covered since SB 240, and September 1, 2026 for those newly covered by SB 463. Covered Austin-area facilities should already maintain a written program; we audit, build, or remediate as needed.
