Health and Safety, Workplace Violence and Harassment Policy

This policy is posted in our workplace and reviewed at least once a year, as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and updated as our business changes.

Health and safety

FourSight Technologies Inc. is committed to the health and safety of its workers and of everyone at the client sites where we work. We comply with Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations. As the employer, we provide information, training and supervision, keep equipment safe, and take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances. Workers are responsible for working safely, following procedures, using required protective equipment and reporting hazards, incidents and injuries immediately. On client premises, our team follows the client’s site safety rules in addition to this policy.

Workplace violence

Violence against any worker, client or visitor, including threats and attempted violence, is not tolerated, whether it happens at our office, at a client site, online or at a work-related event. Anyone who experiences or witnesses workplace violence must report it immediately to the Lead Partner, and to 911 where there is immediate danger. We assess the risk of workplace violence and put measures in place to control it.

Workplace harassment

Workplace harassment, including workplace sexual harassment, is not tolerated from anyone in the workplace, including employees, contractors, clients and suppliers. Harassment includes engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. Reasonable management action, such as performance feedback, is not harassment.

Reporting and investigation

Report incidents to the Lead Partner, or to [email protected] marked “Confidential”. If the Lead Partner is involved, the report may be made to any other person in a supervisory role or to an external investigator we appoint.
Every report is investigated promptly and fairly. Information is kept confidential except where disclosure is needed to investigate, take corrective action or comply with the law.
The person who made the report and the alleged harasser are informed in writing of the results of the investigation and any corrective action.
No one will face reprisal for reporting in good faith or taking part in an investigation.

Remote and lone work

Team members working remotely or alone at client sites keep in regular contact, share their schedule, and may stop work if they believe it is unsafe.
