Violence Risk Assessment
BC's Occupational Health and Safety Regulation requires a risk assessment to be performed in any workplace where there is a risk of worker injury resulting from violence arising out of their employment.
The risk assessment must include the consideration of previous experience in the workplace, the occupational experience in similar workplaces, and the location and circumstances in which work will take place.
How HSC can help...
HSC has completed numerous Violence Risk Assessments (VRA) through a systematic and thorough process that identifies workplace violence risk and the opportunities to eliminate or control those risks. HSC can assist your organization by managing the coordination of all the elements that go into a comprehensive VRA and providing the final report and agreed upon action plan. Both management leaders and worker representatives need to be part of the process and the review of elements, including:
-
Policy & Procedure Review;
-
Staff Survey;
-
Task Analysis;
-
Worksite Survey Inspection;
-
Action Plans; and
-
The final report.
HSC facilitates and documents the process to demonstrate compliance with WorkSafeBC's regulation and policy. Does your workplace have a risk of violence?
