 In November 2013, the British Columbia’s WorkSafeBC Workers Compensation Act was amended to include three new policies addressing workplace bullying and harassment. Sections 115, 116 and 117 of the Act set out the general duties of employers, workers and supervisors.  Bullying and harassment in the workplace can take many forms, including verbal aggression, personal attacks, and other intimidating or humiliating behaviors. If workplace bullying and harassment is not addressed, it can lead to lost productivity, anxiety, and depression. An employer has a duty to ensure the health and safety of its workers, and as a result, employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent where possible, or otherwise minimize, workplace bullying and harassment. Workplace bullying and harassment can lead to injury, illness or death  All employers in BC must implement procedures for responding to reports or incidents of bullying and harassment. The procedures must ensure a reasonable response to the report or incident and aim to fully address the incident and ensure that bullying and harassment is prevented or minimized in the future. All employees and supervisors must then be trained on these bullying and harassment procedures.

 Joint Health and Safety Committees in BC play a vital role in an employer’s occupational health and safety program by identifying and finding solutions to workplace health and safety issues. Many workplaces in BC find that joint worker and employer health and safety committees are an excellent means of consultation within the organization. These committees can help identify workplace health and safety responsibilities, establish positive attitudes, and assist the employer with reducing and eliminating workplace injuries and diseases.  By law in BC, if your workplace has 20 or more workers then as per WorkSafeBC regulations, the employer must have a Joint Health and Safety Committee in place. WorkSafeBC’s new 2017 regulations on Joint Health and Safety Committees state that all new joint health and safety committee members must receive 8 hours of training and instruction by a qualified instructor.
