Letter to licensees regarding prevention of violence and harassment in the workplace

An important part of reducing risk to CNSC employees is by clearly communicating with licensees about our expectations and the Government of Canada’s Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations. We are taking a proactive stance against workplace harassment and violence by informing licensees that behaviours and actions that may cause harm or injury to CNSC employees will not be tolerated. Although no specific incidents with licensees have been reported under the new regulations, it is important that we share our expectations with all CNSC-regulated organizations.
