Risk and Threat Assessment Sample Clauses

Risk and Threat Assessment a) The Employer acknowledges the risk of workplace violence inherent in the shelter system that may arise from the nature of the workplace, type of work or conditions of work. b) Through the mechanism of the Joint Health and Safety Committee, the Employer commits to conduct a Risk and Threat Assessment for the workplace in consultation with the Union. The Joint Health and Safety Committee shall repeat the assessment as often as necessary to ensure the workplace violence policy and related program continue to protect workers as much as possible from workplace violence. The assessment must be conducted at least once annually, and the results must be made accessible to employees in writing upon request. c) The Risk and Threat Assessment must: (i) Take into account the circumstances of the workplace and circumstances common to similar workplaces, as well as any other elements prescribed in regulation; and, (ii) Develop measures and procedures to minimize identified risks that are likely to expose a worker to physical injury. These measures and procedures must be part of the policy of the Ottawa Booth Centre.
