Prevention of Violence and Harassment Training - FAQ Questions
Who needs Violence and Harassment prevention training?
All workers in Ontario whose safety is governed by the Occupation Health and Safety Act are required to have this training.
How often do I need re-certification?
The Occupational Health and Safety Act states that all training must be repeated annually or more frequently if the circumstances or the violence and harassment policies in the workplace change to ensure your employees know, retain, and follow the policies.
How long does the course take?
On average the course takes 1 hour to complete.
Why computer based training?
- Computer based training and specifically on-line training provides consistency while allowing flexibility. It allows an employer to use unexpected down time in a productive and cost effective manner.
- Training can be provided 24 hours a day to employees everywhere in the country and not just in the training room, removing the hassles of arranging training facilities, trainers and production down time for groups of employees.
- By using a database driven system, it provides a means of testing the knowledge of participants and documenting those results. Documentation is provided in a consistent and legally usable manner.
What do I do if I forgot to print my certificate or if I lost it?
You can reprint your certificate by going to Certificate Reprint and entering the username and password you used to take the course.
What is a Training Seat?
A training seat is a single training course for one person – literally the equivalent of one seat in a classroom. A seat is enabled when an individual is provided with a username and password. You require one training seat for each individual who takes a training course.
What are the system requirements?
- A PC built within the past five years or Macintosh equivalent
- Video card and display capable of displaying 800x600 resolution or better (lower resolution works but will require a lot of scrolling)
- Flash Player (free download available)
- A sound card and speakers or headphones
- Any of the most populat web browsers.
- An Internet connection, preferably high-speed.
What does the training cover?
The training is designed to comply with the general components in Ontario of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) amendments relating to the prevention of violence and harassment in the workplace. One course is designed to meet the needs of employers/managers and a second, the needs of employees. The employer/managers training also provides guidance in how to complete the other requirements for policies and procedures to prevent violence and harassment and provides links to sample documents that can be adapted to meet the specific needs of each workplace.
NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of the employer to ensure that the site specific requirements are completed properly to be in compliance with OHSA.
