Workplace Harassment & Violence Prevention

A course that works realistic harassment-and-violence situations — recognizing escalating behaviour, knowing your reporting options, and understanding the employer's duty — across 10 interactions. It turns required policy into recognition and response you can actually carry out.

Enterprise-grade workplace harassment and violence prevention training aligned with the Manitoba WSH Act, WSH Regulation Part 10 (Harassment) and Part 11 (Violence in the Workplace), the Manitoba Human Rights Code (discrimination overlay), the Workers Compensation Act (psychological injury), and federal Bill C-65 (Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations, for federally-regulated employers). It covers the legal distinctions between harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violence; the four types of workplace violence and the controls each requires; the confidential reporting procedure and its confidentiality limits; bystander intervention (the 5 Ds); the supervisor investigation duty; reprisal protection for complainants, witnesses and respondents; and the psychological-injury layer Manitoba WCB now compensates. The online theory establishes the Trained state; the employer records the program confirmations (policy acknowledged, reporting path known, de-escalation/investigation competence, risk assessment reviewed) as the Observed state, signed off as Competent. Built for Manitoba employers, on duties that Part 10 (Harassment) and Part 11 (Violence in the Workplace) of MR 217/2006 place on every workplace.

Equip every worker AND every supervisor to recognize harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violence; report incidents through a confidential procedure; intervene safely as a bystander; and execute the investigation and reprisal-free response framework Manitoba law requires.
