While they treat us when were sick, but doctors and ifornia ear for their own Health Medical workers say their calls those hospitals right here in the bay area, and these Investigative Reporter Candace Nguyen joins us with the details. Reporter hospital workers are four times more likely to be violently attacked than other workers according to National Labor statistics. Under state law, hospitals are required to develop safety plans to protect their employees, but many workers we spoke to say thats not always happening. This lexus may look like it was in a serious crash, but the busted glass and ripped wiring are the result of a violent patient spinning out of control. He jumped on top of the car and just kept jumping until he ended up falling into the car and just started punching everything inside. Reporter san leandro hospital nurse remembers when that patient escaped f hands. Police ended up being involved and assaulted several Police Officers. Imagine how i felt that this patient was going to be mine and how the experience was going to be. So the initial response is fear, you know. Reporter its a fear that seems to be growing throughout the industry. We spoke to Health Care Workers from eureka to los angeles. She punched me in the face. The next moment i know that i had gotten kicked and punched back. Reporter they shared similar stories of Workplace Violence. One got punched in the back. I get kicked in the chest again. One got punched in the head. Reporter in 2017, cal osha put in place new Hospital Safety standards after jail nurse cynthia palamata was attacked and killed by a patient at the martinez detention facility. Now hospitals must report all assaults against workers and develop an effective violence prevention plan or else face fines. Under the new 23,000 assaults 2017. While some incidents prompted change, like adding staff or installing alarms, 77 of the hospitals reported making no safety improvements at all following an assault. There is a growing epidemic of Workplace Violence here at the county. Reporter last week nurses and technicians in Contra Costa County rallied at the board of supervisors meeting after watching assaults rise more than 10 last year. We have to take it seriously. Safety and violence is not acceptable. Reporter Contra Costa Health Officials Say theyre listening to employee concerns and reviewing their own violence prevention plan. But workers say the new regulations arent working because when they report security gaps, the county and state dont respond. None. Were working on it. Thats their response. Were working on it. Reporter if a cal osha take action . It depends on what gets reported and what the circumstances are. Reporter doug parker is the chief in charge of cal osha. With his agencys limited resources, he says theres a priority system when it comes to investigating incidents. Its a fairly high bar, but thats based on the fact that we have to do inspections and investigations of workplaces throughout the state of california where we have, you know, 18 million workers. Reporter under the new law, parker says his department has inspected 49 health care facilities. If we become aware of some deficiency in their Workplace Violence prevention plan, we would go out and investigate that. Reporter can you see how if a worker files a complaint with cal osha about i was seriously hurt and doesnt feel that an investigation was opened, that would feel discouraging . What do you want them to know . I would want them to know that cal osha is a resource that they can turn to with their complaints, and well vestate those complaints. Reporter have these new standards had an impact on Workplace Safety in hospitals yet . Thats a difficult question to answer. I think that theres more awareness, but i wouldnt feel comfortable at this point saying that theres been a major impact yet. Its still a work in progress. Reporter progress that workers say theyll keep fighting for. Were here to provide care, but at the same time we shouldnt have to jeopardize our own safety for it. Reporter the California Hospital Association told us hospitals throughout the state are working to comply with the new safety law, but time and money are really big challenges. Sounds like a complicated situation. Its serious for these medical workers here. Its really scary and also for patients. It does ultimately affect patients when a doctor or nurse, they dont feel safe. Its apparently going to impact their treatment. Of course. Thank you, candice. Well, if you have a story for our Investigative Unit or for candice specifically, you can call 888996tips or visweb. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. We have rain coming into california but just not our part of california. Were in the wrong spot. Can you scootch it . Were going to do what we can. Theres a slight chance for us here coming in that forecast. Lets get you into our microclimate weather tonight. Well start you off with that wide view across the state. What i want you to see on this map because we keep talking about that possibility of showers, i want to be clear on where the best chance of rainfall will be. So as we go ahead and get a look, friday night into saturday morning, youll see the best chances are pinned down towards Southern California with little to nothing for us. Maybe only about 0. 01 inch for san jose. If we see a Slight Movement of this storm system a little more to the north, we could see our chances increase. Let me show you what ive got right now for us. Tomorrow morning, cloud cover increases across the bay area. More of that filtered sunshine to an overcast for the afternoon. And a spotty chance down there for the south bay. Now, as we get a wider perspective, by friday night storm system is offshore, and this could again push up a few showers to the south bay. And as this moves into Southern California, by saturday morning that would be our best bet here to maybe get some showers, south bay, peninsula, or the east bay. It doesnt look like much again, but were going to keep our eye to the sky because we havent any any rainfall so far this month. If we even get one drop, i know everybody is going to be on twitter and facebook sharing about it. So i wanted to make sure youre ready for maybe even a couple of drops. It is big news here because february is usually one of our wettest months and we just, again, vice preside again, havent seen anything. As we start off with that approaching systems. 44 in the north ba San Francisco 49. The east bay at 47. Hopefully you are sitting down because it is just going to be temperatures, its just really hard to believe. I got you up here to 73 in san jose. 74 in east san jose. 75 in concord. 73 oakland. Peninsula, 70 in redwood city. San francisco, 72 in the mission. And it cannontinues. Up to lake tahoe, a cooler 49 up there across the sierra. Spotty snow shower chance on saturday. Then well dry out on sunday with 45. So again, slight chance of a shower tomorrow night into saturday morning. Dry next week as you can see here in San Francisco. My inland valley forecast, plenty of 70s next seven days. Ive got just a couple seconds left on the clock. I wanted you to see march 4th through the 8th, a 60 chance of some rain. Thats the best i can do on pinning it down for you right now but well keep you updated as we get cler well hope for some wetness coming in. Thanks, jeff. Up next, did you get one, and is it working . How effective is this years flu vaccine . And we have guys, will smite tonight. We are rapping through his life and career. Plus we have talk and music from patty smith and the tonight show hashtags.
