Workplace Harassment

Saturday, April 1st

As discussed at our most recent General Membership Meeting, Workplace Harassment is defined under the Ontario Health and Safety Act (OHSA).

  • The OHSA defines workplace harassment as engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker in a workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. The definition of workplace harassment includes workplace sexual harassment [section 1]. See Section 1.6 of this guide for more information about workplace sexual harassment.
