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, 26 TAC §505.55, the Joint Commission, and OSHA.
From a growing hospital footprint to a dense network of surgery centers and clinics, 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, and 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. Covered Austin-area facilities should already maintain a written program; we audit, build, or remediate as needed.
