Summary
In 2016, Bill 132 was introduced, requiring updates, changes and additions to existing programs. In 2010, the Occupational Health and Safety Act was amended to include workplace violence and harassment as an occupational hazard.
All provincial workplaces employing over five employees must have a developed and implemented workplace violence and harassment program. The amendment to the Act requires the employer to perform a risk assessment for workplace violence, taking into account the nature, type, and/or conditions of work.
