Why Do I Need Sexual Harassment Safety Training?
OSHA doesn’t have a specific standard for sexual harassment training. However, under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.”
The Canadian Human Rights Act and the Canada Labour Code address sexual harassment. They also establish criteria for determining when unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment, define the circumstances under which an employer may be held liable, and suggest affirmative steps employers should take to prevent sexual harassment.
Because of these requirements, employers have a legal and ethical obligation to develop and maintain a workplace that is free from hazards associated with sexual harassment. Employees have the right to work in an atmosphere that promotes the safety and well-being of all.
