Compliance Tools for Healthcare Workplace Violence Prevention
Practical, surveyor-fluent tools to gauge and document your workplace violence prevention program, built from the same primary sources a licensure surveyor uses: Texas HSC Chapter 331, the HHSC rule or provider letter for each license class (such as HHSC PL 2024-10), the Joint Commission, and OSHA. Every claim cites its source; nothing here is fabricated.
These are compliance and survey-readiness tools, not a guarantee of safety outcomes. Chapter 331 carries no fine schedule; the exposure surfaces as a licensure-survey deficiency and in post-incident litigation discovery.

Free Texas Workplace Violence Prevention Plan Template
A starting-point template for the written, facility-specific workplace violence prevention plan that Texas HSC Chapter 331 requires of covered healthcare facilities. It follows the eight items Section 331.004 says the plan must contain, in statutory order, then the companion duties a surveyor checks alongside it, so you adapt a defensible structure to your facility instead of starting from a blank page.

The 10-Point Chapter 331 Survey-Readiness Checklist
This 10-point self-check shows how your facility’s workplace violence prevention program would hold up at a Texas HSC Chapter 331 licensure survey. Mark each item In Place, Partial, or Missing; any Partial or Missing is a potential survey deficiency and a litigation-discovery exposure. Aligned to Chapter 331, the HHSC rule or provider letter for your license class, the Joint Commission, and OSHA.

Joint Commission WVP Survey Prep Guide

WVP Documentation Binder Index
A program is only as strong as the evidence behind it. This index organizes the documentation a surveyor actually reviews into one maintained, survey-ready binder, the program of record, so evidence is produced in minutes and not assembled under pressure. Seven tabbed sections, each mapped to its Chapter 331, Joint Commission, and OSHA basis.

Plain-English definitions of the vocabulary a surveyor, compliance officer, or healthcare attorney uses when discussing workplace violence prevention, from Texas HSC Chapter 331 and 26 TAC §505.55 to the Joint Commission’s SAFER Matrix and OSHA’s General Duty Clause.

Where these fit
From self-check to scored gap report
These tools tell you where you stand. When you want a scored, prioritized gap report, and a defined path to a survey-defensible program of record, a Survey-Readiness Audit turns the self-check into findings, and the WVP Foundation Package builds the program the binder index documents.
Want the gap report, not just the checklist?
A flat-fee Survey-Readiness Audit scores your committee, plan, training, and governing-body reporting against Chapter 331, the Joint Commission, and OSHA, in one document.
