This course covers general information such as Quebec legislation, prevention measures, and how to recognize & respond to violence & harassment in the workplace. English version.
Quebec’s Act Respecting Occupational Health & Safety states that employers have a general obligation to ensure the health, safety and physical well-being of workers. The requirement to protect workers from workplace violence is implied. Quebec was the first province in Canada to address psychological harassment. The Act Respecting Labour Standards requires that employers provide a workplace free from psychological harassment and this includes sexual harassment and discriminatory harassment.
This course deals with general information such as the law, how to recognize warning signs, and how to respond to violence and harassment in the workplace. By knowing what behavior is acceptable and what is not, employees can do their part in preventing violence and harassment and help maintain a respectful workplace.
