About the policy

The Workplace Violence Prevention Policy takes a proactive approach to preventing violence from occurring in the workplace. The City has responsibility under the Alberta Occupational Health & Safety Act to ensure our workplace is as safe as is reasonably practicable. And all employees have a role to play in helping to prevent and respond to incidents of threats and violence. Any reported threat or violent act made against an employee or by an employee will be investigated as a serious issue with appropriate action taken.

Workplace violence can include a range of threats or violent behaviours that may cause injury, damage to city property, or make employees fear for their safety. Examples include:

  • assaults with or without a weapon
  • threats that could physically injure or cause psychological harm
  • domestic violence that may continue into or impact in the workplace
  • damage to or threats to damage City property

This policy applies to:

  • employees
  • contractors providing service for or to the City
  • suppliers delivering material to the City
  • volunteers
  • members of the public
