The Rainy River District Women's Shelter of Hope is giving employers and their workers an opportunity to learn more about new legislation that protects workers from workplace violence and harassment.
Bill 168 went into effect July 15.
The Shelter's executive director Donna Kroocmo says it outlines specific duties employers must follow.
"First of all they have to take a risk assessment of their place of employment," says Kroocmo. "Once the risk has been assessed and all employees are queried about that, then they have to create a plan and policy to address any risks that the employees have identified."
The agency will hold separate workshops on September 16 for employers and the public.
Employers must register by Friday.
