Overview
What this RAVS document does
BC regulation treats the risk of violence as a workplace hazard that must be assessed and controlled. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor has run a violence risk assessment and put procedures behind it.
This document states your company's workplace violence program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: the definition of violence, the policy, the violence risk assessment and its content, worker training, the controls, and the duty to inform workers. Each point ties back to Part 4 of the BC OHS Regulation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a workplace violence answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written workplace violence program with purpose and scope
- A definition of violence and a policy stating it will not be tolerated
- A violence risk assessment and the factors it must consider
- Worker training on recognizing, responding to, and reporting violence
- Procedures and controls to eliminate or minimize the risk of violence
- The duty to inform workers of the risk and to advise consulting a health professional
