Sexual Harassment Prevention Legislation

Action Plan to Halt Sexual Violence and Harassment in the Workplace

Ontario government announces the “It’s Never Okay” plan. This plan includes an awareness campaign, new legislation, amendments to existing laws, education plans and other initiatives.

Employers should be aware of plans to change workplace safety legislation aimed at tackling workplace harassment. If passed, the Occupational Health and Safety Act would be amended to include a definition of sexual harassment and would require employers to investigate and address such incidents.
