Overview
What this RAVS document does
Workplace violence and harassment harm workers and expose a company to liability. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has a written policy, assesses the risk, trains workers, and investigates incidents.
This document states your company's violence and harassment program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: definitions of violence and harassment, the policy, worker education, posting, the reporting procedure, assessing violence, implementing controls, support for victims, investigating incidents, and confidentiality. It is written to Ontario legislation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Assess the risk. The document states the company assesses the potential for workplace violence by considering the work activities, conditions, and the frequency and severity of risk situations. A reviewer expects that assessment.
- Investigate with a competent person. The document states an unresolved violence or harassment matter is investigated by a competent person who provides a written report. A reviewer expects that investigation.
