Workplace violence and harassment is an increasingly large problem in our society. The emotional and financial costs of these behaviours, on people and businesses, cannot be overstated. Accordingly, laws are being implemented and enforced by many jurisdictions to try and eliminate these anti-social tendencies.
What types of environments or people should have Workplace Violence and Harassment training?
Workplace violence and harassment can be found in any type of work environment. Whether blue collar or white, at any socio-economic level, in either a professional workplace or in a non-professional setting; inappropriate behaviour is always a possibility and thus this course is applicable to every workplace.
How often must employees receive Workplace Violence and Harassment Training?
In the absence of specific laws and regulatory requirements, a diligent employer would train employees often enough to ensure all employees understand their responsibilities under law and are retrained sufficiently to ensure their understanding is not forgotten. A period of three years is consistent with other knowledge regimes.
Where can I find the Workplace Violence and Harassment regulations that apply in my province?
All Workplace Violence & Harassment Provincal Regulations are listed here.
What training records must be retained for Workplace Violence and Harassment Training?
Employers are required to retain written records of employee education to ensure proof of compliance to the Regulations.
