Judge rules for OSHA: Company failed to protect murdered employee from workplace violence
An administrative law judge has affirmed OSHA’s finding that Integra Health Management - now operating as Integra ServiceConnect LLC – failed to protect an employee from workplace violence, which lead to her death.
The ruling of Judge Dennis Phillips of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commision stems from the horrific murder of 24-year-old Stephanie Ross, a Florida health care worker in 2012. Ross, who’d been on the job only three months, was fatally stabbed by a mentally ill client who had a violent criminal history.
