Bill 168

Are you compliant with Bill 168?

Bill 168 is a new piece of legislation in Ontario that received Royal Assent on December 15th, 2010 and came into effect on June 15th, 2010.

It is an Act to amend Ontario's Occupational Health & Safety Act related to workplace violence and harassment. It places an explicit obligation on employers to take steps to protect their employees from workplace violence and harassment, including the threat of domestic violence. Bill 168 removes the need to link a harassment claim to protected human rights grounds.

Most controversial is the requirement to disclose a worker's history of violent behaviour to other employees (which may be contrary to existing privacy legislation).
