Yes.

Employers must assess the risk of workplace violence and take appropriate steps to control it.

This assessment must be documented and reviewed as needed.

Under the Ontario OHSA:

• 20+ workers → A Joint Health and Safety Committee is required.
• 6–19 workers → A Health and Safety Representative is required.
• Designated substances may trigger a JHSC at 6+ workers.

The committee must include certified members and hold regular meetings.

A Compliance Assessment identifies what legal requirements apply and where gaps may exist.

A Compliance Audit provides a formal, independent review confirming whether standards are being met.

If gaps are identified, structured Safety & Compliance Solutions are available to correct them.

These programs provide the policies, procedures, and documentation needed to maintain compliance.

Failure to meet legal health and safety requirements can result in inspection findings, regulatory orders, fines, or increased liability following an incident.

Proper assessments, documentation, and functioning safety programs help demonstrate due diligence and reduce these risks.
