Preventing Workplace Harassment and Violence

Employers, unions and the Government have joined forces to promote new guidance on preventing harassment and violence in the workplace.

It is in employers’ interests to identify and address the threat or accurance of workplace harassment and violence.  But employers also have legal duties to protect the health and safety of all their workers, so failure to deal with and take reasonable steps to prevent harassment and violence will undermine business performance and could be unlawful.
