As of January 1, 2021, legislation will come into force to ensure employers prevent harassment and violence in federally regulated industries and workplaces (click here to learn more). This Workplace Violence Harassment training program has been developed to exceed these new federal requirements and is applicable to workplaces across Canada.

Today’s work environments can vary greatly in size and location, from a few people to hundreds, from an office to a construction site. However, no workplace is immune to the possibility of violence and harassment. Through this course, you will be equipped with the knowledge of violence and harassment warning signs, types of violence, and common prevention techniques.

Throughout this course, students will participate in training to better recognize, respond to, and protect themselves against all types of workplace violence and harassment, including:

• Harassment based on protected grounds
• Sexual Harassment
• Psychological Harassment
• Physical Violence
• Threats
• Threatening Behavior
• Sexual Violence
• Domestic Violence
