New federal violence and harassment prevention regulations aim to expand protection for employees in federally regulated workplaces
Over the course of the last year, the federal government has initiated significant amendments to the Canada Labour Code through Bill C-65 and its draft Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations. The new regulations will replace the violence prevention provisions under the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, as well as parts of the Maritime Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and the On Board Trains Occupational Safety and Health Regulations.
