In March 2013, WorkSafeBC's Board of Directors approved three Occupational Health and Safety Policies dealing with workplace bullying and harassment.

We remind employers that these bullying and harassment policies take effect on November 1, 2013, and that enforcement by WorkSafeBC prevention officers will begin on this date.

Today, WorkSafeBC released a tool kit to assist employers, supervisors, and workers in complying with these policies. The tool kit can be found on the WorkSafeBC website.

We encourage all employers in B.C. to review their obligations with respect to these new bullying and harassment policies in order to ensure they are in compliance as of November 1, 2013.

We operate a free-to-view policy, asking only that you register in order to read all of our content. Please login or register to view the rest of this article.
