CSA Group Workplace Violence and Harassment Survey
Introduction
The Public Services Health and Safety Association (PSHSA), an Occupational Health and Safety System Partner in Ontario, is conducting research on behalf of the CSA Group.
The purpose of the research is to determine the need for national standards or guidance on the prevention and management of workplace violence and harassment and to recommend where further work needs to be done on any identified gaps. The future standard will be considered as part of an Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System as prescribed in CAN/CSA Z1000-Occupational health and safety management.
A national standard is a standard developed by Canada’s standards development organizations (e.g. CSA Group) using an accredited standards development process defined by Standards Council of Canada (SCC).
A national standard promotes “national” identity in the arena of voluntary standards and recognition of this identity by national and international stakeholders.
A National Standards Canada (NSC) status can demonstrate uniqueness of a standard in a particular subject on the national level by having avoided duplication of standards.
NSC status adds to the appeal of referencing the standard in legislation/regulation. It assists a regulator in promoting the use of the established process and highlights key requirements in the Canadian standardization system, such as public review, to increase compliance and use of the standard. NSC status can enhance marketplace acceptance by industry and consumers.
This survey is the first step in the research process.
It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
We would appreciate all responses to be submitted by February 21, 2019.
