Greetings Corrections Division,
Attached is a Ministry of Labour Fact Sheet on Protecting Workers from Workplace Violence and Workplace Harassment: Bill 168 amendments to the Occupational Health and Safety Act that is available at:
http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/sawo/pubs/fs_workplaceviolence.php
and three HSAGS Fast Facts on workplace violence, including the Fast Fact: Workplace Violence: Complying with the Occupational Health & Safety Act; Workplace Bullying; and Domestic Violence. The Fast Facts plus additional Resource Books and Posters are available at:
http://www.osach.ca/products/free_violence.shtml
It would be very helpful if you could distribute these fact sheets to y/our members. We would like to ensure, as we are certain all of us would, that workers/members in our communities and institutions, the LERC’s and JHSCs are aware of the amendments coming into effect on June 15, 2010 and the requirements of Protecting Workers From Workplace Violence and Workplace Harassment.
In Health, Safety and Solidarity, Corrections MERC/POH&SC
