Bill 168 – Meeting your obligations for violence and harassment prevention

May 21, 2010 Adam Gorley Conferences, Health and Safety, Human Resources

There’s lots of talk in Ontario’s workplaces and online about workplace violence and harassment and the Bill 168 amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Hopefully by now the message is getting through, and employers are taking the steps to prepare for the June 15 deadline. (That’s about three weeks away!)
