Abstract: Strategies for preventing violence and aggression in the workplace: A case study and its integration into occupational health management This article deals with the prevention work against violence and assaults at the St. Joseph-Stift hospital in Bremen. A wide range of practical experiences and strategies for dealing with assaults, threats and psychological stress in the work context are presented. The recording of incidents and the risk assessment derived from them serve as the basis for targeted prevention measures. Through successful cooperation between various internal departments in a safety working group and with the help of external partners, numerous protective measures have been implemented. The article further demonstrates the integration of these strategies into occupational health management. Measures and projects to strengthen mental health in the workplace are presented. A holistic, integrated health management system makes an important contribution to promoting the physical and mental health of employees and creating a safe working environment.
