2 Overview Employee Safety and Security The Calgary Catholic School District believes that all District worksites should have a supportive work environment where violence against employees, or other individuals, is not tolerated. An employee s ability to cope with stressful situations improves if the employee feels supported by the employer s policies and procedures put in place to protect against workplace violence. Principals or non-school based department heads are responsible for communicating the District s position with regard to employee safety and security to employees and for monitoring and reporting of any violence, discrimination or harassment (See District Regulations ADD - District Workplace Health and Safety and GBAA Discrimination, Harassment and Violence in the Workplace). Legislative Requirements This portion of the manual is to address the District's obligations as required by part 27 of the Occupational Health and Safety Code respecting violence in the workplace. Violence under the OHS Code means the threatened, attempted, or actual conduct of a person that causes or is likely to cause physical injury. Under provincial workplace health and safety legislation, the principal or non-school based department head is required to ensure that employees are instructed in: 1. How to recognize workplace violence, 2. The policy, procedures and workplace arrangements that effectively minimize or eliminate workplace violence, 3. The appropriate response to workplace violence, including how to obtain assistance, and 4. Procedures for reporting, investigating, and documenting incidents of workplace violence. The principal or non-school based department head must also ensure that employees are advised to consult a health professional of the employee s choice for treatment or referral if the employee reports an injury or adverse symptom resulting from workplace violence or if the employee is exposed to workplace violence. Guidelines for Meeting Legislative Requirements Principals or non-school based department heads shall provide each employee, at the time of commencement of work at each worksite, with the District brochure Employee Safety and Security and discuss and review workplace safety with all staff at least annually, or as necessary to promote and ensure employee awareness of worksite issues and processes. August, 2015 Page 11.1
3 Review of the District Employee Safety and Security Workplace Checklist provided under the Forms section will also help to identify potentially hazardous areas or issues that need to be addressed at each District worksite. Principals or non-school based department heads shall follow the process provided under District Regulation GBAA - Discrimination, Harassment and Violence in the Workplace when an employee reports any acts of discrimination, harassment or violence. Training Requirements The District will provide training to all employees as required by section 391 of the Code. In addition, the District will provide training to selective employee categories relative to the risks associated with each position and according to their job assignment, particularly to those employee categories exposed to higher levels of violence according to their job assignment e.g. special education teachers, administrators. Specific training will depend on the needs involved; however, it may include training in dealing with difficult individuals, or training in appropriate responses to violence from children with mental, physical or emotional issues. The District will identify those individuals and situations where training is required. All employees will be provided with orientation on District or school procedures designed to protect employees, students, volunteers or members of the general public. See the Employee Safety and Security - Workplace Checklist provided under the Forms section for areas requiring review and action at each worksite. Implementation Process Principals and non-school based department heads should review safety and security issues with their employees on a regular, ongoing basis. For compliance with provincial legislation, employees should be actively involved in identifying and addressing safety and security issues. The District brochure, Employee Safety and Security, has been designed to assist in addressing the recognition, reporting, investigation and documentation of workplace violence. Employees should be encouraged to review this information and provide comments and feedback to the principal or non-school based department head. Signs indicating that violence will not be tolerated are posted in each workplace (See Appendix II). In addition, the worksite checklist found under the Forms Section is intended to assist worksite managers in avoiding and reducing the risk of workplace violence. The principal or non-school based department head should utilize this form to review the major areas of concern and ensure that action plans are in place for each category that is applicable at their worksite. Employee involvement in the review is critical to the success of the process. August, 2015 Page 11.2

7 Appendix II Safety and Security Signage The Calgary Catholic School District supports the safety and security of all individuals at District worksites and promotes a Catholic community of caring, where the dignity and worth of all individuals is respected. To this end, the District has posted all District worksite locations, signage which clearly articulates that abuse, harassment or bullying of students, District employees, parents or anyone else will not be tolerated. This signage ensures that individuals entering District worksites understand that acts of this nature are unacceptable to the District and will be dealt with in a serious manner. Additionally, Occupational Health and Safety legislation requires that employers develop policies, procedures and strategies to address potential workplace violence and threats to workplace safety and security.
