Workplace violence and harassment refers to any act in the workplace that causes, or is likely to cause, physical or psychological harm to a worker. This includes verbal abuse, threats, bullying, sexual harassment, physical assault, or any unwelcome behavior that intimidates, humiliates, or isolates someone.
Under Canadian law, workplace violence and harassment can involve co-workers, supervisors, customers, contractors, or anyone a worker interacts with on the job. All employers are legally required to recognize these risks, implement prevention programs, and train workers on how to respond.
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.
Workplace violence and harassment training must be provided when a worker is hired, and any time there are changes to workplace policies, procedures, job roles, or risk factors. Some jurisdictions also recommend regular refresher training, typically every 1 to 3 years, to ensure workers stay informed.
As an industry best practice, it is not advisable to exceed 3 years without retaining workers.
Employers are responsible for keeping training current and relevant. If there’s a workplace incident, near miss, or updated legislation, retraining may also be required.
