    Hello,
    I am aware that the federal government has published Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations in support of Bill C-65 changes to the Canada Labour Code,  coming into effect Jan 1 2021. However, I am wondering if this change is only directed to federally regulated workplaces’ What about other jurisdictions in other non-federally regulated sectors (i.e. mining in Ontario)’
    Thanks!

    The new C-65 workplace harassment and violence rules that take effect on Jan. 1 apply only to employers that are federally regulated. If your company is subject to the Canada Labour Code, the changes cover you, regardless of where you operate. If you’re subject to provincial OHS rules, you’re not affected. I’ll just add that the rules are pretty progressive and I suspect that other jurisdictions, including Ontario, will eventually adopt similar changes to their own OHS rules. But that hasn’t happened yet. Hope that helps. Good question. Glenn.
