November is Family Violence Awareness Month
Alberta Labour and Immigration has a new information bulletin about domestic violence as a workplace hazard.
Did you know?
Domestic Violence is included in the definition of violence in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act.
If an employer knows that a domestic violence incident might come into the workplace, they must take steps to protect workers.
Workers must report to their employer or supervisor if they think domestic violence might be, or is, occurring at the work site.
For more information on domestic violence in the workplace please see the information bulletin provided by Alberta Labour and Immigration.
MHSA’s new Workplace Violence and Harassment course is designed to assist participants in developing effective violence and harassment prevention plans for their workplace. Our available upcoming courses can be seen on our Course Calendar.
