Employers, help protect your employees and contractors from violence or threatened violence by co-workers. Establish a Violence in the Workplace Policy for your company.

• The Policy outlines the company’s zero tolerance stance on violence and outlines the measures being taken by the company to fulfill its commitment to providing a safe work environment.


• The company reserves the right to inspect a worker’s work area, including email.


• All employees have a duty to report any incidents of violence, threats or threatening behavior.


• The company offers training and educational programs, and will pay tuition for outside courses to improve working relationships.

This Violence in the Workplace Policy was developed by Lyall Hodgson, an OHS specialist, and is provided in MS Word format. Keep your workplace safe by keeping workers informed.
