Preventing Workplace Violence and Harassment (CAN)

Harassment rarely starts as a shouting match. It starts with a cutting remark, a joke that lands wrong, or a bit of disrespect nobody bothers to address, and left alone, those small things can grow into bullying, threats, and violence. Every jurisdiction in Canada has laws requiring employers to prevent and respond to workplace violence and harassment, but the real protection comes from workers who can recognize these behaviours early and know exactly what to do about them. In this course, you'll learn what harassment, bullying, and reprisal look like, how impact outweighs intent, what Canadian legislation requires, and how to recognize warning signs, respond to incidents, and de-escalate a situation before it turns dangerous.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
