Quick Reference Guides: Responding to Violence & Harassment in the Workplace

Do you know how to identify and respond to violence, harassment, and discrimination in the workplace?

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from violence, discrimination, and harassment.  

Any act of violence, harassment, or discrimination is unacceptable conduct that will not be tolerated. It is important that you know how to identify and respond to cases of unacceptable conduct committed by or against any member of the Humber community or member of the public.  Please see the pdf attachments that are designed to be quick-reference guides for two important Humber Policies: 

Workplace Violence Prevention Policy

  • Defines workplace violence
  • Provides examples of unacceptable conduct
  • Identifies how to respond and the resources that are available

Human Rights Policy

  • Addresses incidents of harassment and discrimination
  • Explains the resolution process by outlining the steps that can be taken and the resources that are available
  • Note that student-to-student complaints are addressed through the Office of Student and Community Standards

Both of these policies apply to those working on campus, as well as those in the virtual learning and working environment. To view the full Human Rights policy and the Workplace Violence Prevention policy, please visit Humber’s Policies and Procedures website.

The quick-reference pdf documents will be housed within the HROE website:
