Proposed legislation in the Canadian province would require employers to curb workplace harassment and violence by following these steps:
- Develop and deliver regular harassment and violence prevention training to employees, including those who exercise managerial functions, and mandate employee attendance at training sessions.
- Investigate allegations of workplace harassment or violence.
- Identify the source of harassment or violence and remove the source if necessary.
- Ensure adequate steps are taken to prevent and remedy the effects of the harassment or violence.
- Compensate victimized workers for any absences related to the harassment or violence that are not compensated through the workers compensation system.
