Workplace Violence Prevention Form

BENEFITS

In Canada, employers generally have a duty to protect workers from the risk of workplace violence. One approach to addressing this safety hazard is to get a commitment, create a committee composed of both employer and worker representatives, have that committee identify violence risk factors in the environment and develop an appropriate action plan as to those factors, and then implement the plan, monitoring its effectiveness.
