POLICY

The management of Belterra Corporation is committed to the prevention of workplace violence and is ultimately responsible for worker health and safety. We will take whatever steps are reasonable to protect our workers from workplace violence from all sources, including from strangers, customers, and other workers.

Workplace violence is defined as:

 the exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker;  an attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to a worker;  a statement or behavior that is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker.

This policy applies to all Belterra employees, including permanent, temporary or casual employees, as well as independent contractors. This policy applies wherever Belterra’s business or work-related activities are conducted (including washrooms, lunchrooms, or company vehicles), and includes work-related social functions, conferences and training, and work assignments outside of Belterra’s premises.

There is a Workplace Violence, Bullying & Harassment Program that implements this policy. It includes measures and procedures to protect workers from workplace violence, a means of summoning immediate assistance and a process for workers to report incidents, or raise concerns, and information about how incidents and complaints will be investigated and/or dealt with. Belterra will ensure this policy and the supporting program are implemented and maintained and that all workers and supervisors have the appropriate information and instruction to protect them from violence in the workplace.

Every worker must work in compliance with this policy and the supporting procedure. Any employee or independent contractor who engages in workplace violent conduct may be subject to criminal prosecution and shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment or contract.

The Company’s Workplace Violence Policy will be reviewed every year.
