The Oklahoma Health Care Workplace Incentive Safety Act aims to enhance workplace safety in hospitals and health care systems by establishing a framework for safety standards and incentives. Under this act, participating hospitals will be required to review their workplace safety protocols, and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission will provide incentives based on a system developed by the newly created Oklahoma Health Care Workplace Safety Committee. This Committee will assess whether hospitals have implemented formal policies to address workplace violence and will report its findings to the Legislature annually, starting November 1, 2026.

The Oklahoma Health Care Workplace Safety Committee will consist of various members, including state health officials and representatives from health care organizations. Its responsibilities will include developing metrics for workplace violence, identifying funding opportunities to reduce such incidents, and making legislative recommendations. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, and aims to improve the overall safety and well-being of health care workers in Oklahoma.
