Canadian Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Training

build a safer, more respectful workplace for everyone

Harassment and violence in the workplace are widely recognized as hazards under occupational health and safety legislation. Examples include bullying, verbal abuse, sexual harassment, discrimination, and threats of physical harm. These challenges affect organizations across all industries.

Preventing these problems is a collective responsibility. Canadian employers have a legal obligation to protect employees, provide effective training, address incidents promptly, and support a respectful workplace.
