According to last week’s article from Radio-Canada, five attacks in psychiatry at Cité-de-la-Santé in Laval in one month, Clercom wishes to reiterate the importance of the presence of an anti-aggression system in psychiatric clinics.
According to Radio-Canada:
“In an intervention report of March 11, 2020, the Commission for Standards, Equity, Health and Safety at Work (CNESST) noted” the presence of shortcomings in the application of the White Code which represents an essential element allowing to come quickly and effectively to the assistance of the workers confronted with a situation of aggressiveness and also to contribute to increasing the feeling of security of the personnel. ”A white code is triggered during an immediate request for assistance from a staff member. “
In the health (and social services) network, the “white code” is a call for help, in a context of current or imminent violence. Time is therefore of the essence. The installation of a tailor-made system allows a considerable reduction in the reaction time of the back-up team.
