Yes — workplace violence and harassment training is legally required across Canada. Every jurisdiction, including federal and provincial/territorial governments, mandates that employers train workers to recognize, prevent, and respond to violence and harassment in the workplace.

This training is part of an employer’s broader duty to protect worker health and safety. Failure to provide it can lead to fines, liability, or non-compliance with OHS legislation.

The workplace violence and harassment online course at OnlineWHMIS.ca helps employers meet these legal requirements by providing clear, up-to-date training that aligns with Canadian legislation. It’s designed to be simple to assign, easy to complete, and includes a certificate of completion for proof of training.
