Concern for Safe Staffing / ADO Forms serve as a means to:

  • Provide your supervisor an opportunity to correct an unsafe situation
  • Limit your personal and professional liability
  • Document trends in staffing, patient volume and/or acuity levels for your Unit Staffing Collaborative to collect, analyze for changes in the staffing plans.

No Union member should be harassed, coerced, intimidated or discriminated against for signing a CFSS. Report any form of retaliation to your Union steward immediately.
