Educating employees about Occupational Health and Safety hazards is a key responsibility of any organization. This includes hazards associated with workplace violence, harassment and other forms of abuse. Employees in all Canadian jurisdictions must be informed about their rights and responsibilities, as well as, how to both identify and respond to threats of violence or harassment. In addition, each employee must have a working knowledge of their organization's policies and procedures.
If audited or faced with litigation, you may be required to produce a detailed training record, along with evidence that participants have acquired the necessary knowledge to protect themselves and maintain a violence-free workplace.
The Canadian Initiative on Workplace Violence has been retained by many of Canada's leading employers, professional associations and unions in both the private and public sectors. Our training programs are known for being comprehensive, practical and current. for a complete list of training options and client testimonials, call us at 416-760-8505, toll-free at 1-800-579-6739 or complete the training request on this page.
