Bullying and Harassment Questionnaire

Section 17(1) of the Workers' Compensation Act charges WorkSafeBC to be concerned with occupational health and safety generally. In carrying out its mandate, WorkSafeBC may undertake inspections, investigations and inquiries on matters of occupational health and safety and occupational environments (s. 17(2)(b)). WorkSafeBC may investigate complaints concerning health and safety at a workplace (s. 75(1)(c)) and, for the purpose of conducting an inspection, may question people with respect to matters that may be relevant to the inspection (s. 75(3)(h)).

The purpose of this questionnaire is for WorkSafeBC to gather the information we need to undertake an inquiry into an occupational health and safety complaint of workplace bullying and harassment.

WorkSafeBC will generally only inquire into allegations of workplace bullying and harassment when there are reasonable grounds to believe that an employer has failed to address the issue. Please report all incidents or complaints of workplace bullying and harassment to your employer before submitting this complaint form. Please also read the information in the Prevention Guideline G-P2-21(1)-3 Bullying and harassment.

In following up on any complaint, WorkSafeBC's role is not to resolve or mediate any specific disputes or conflicts. Our role is to ensure employers have adequate policies, procedures and training to prevent and address workplace bullying and harassment. When we receive a complaint of workplace bullying and harassment, WorkSafeBC's role is to ensure the employer has conducted an investigation that is fair, impartial and is focused on finding facts and evidence.

If you need help with this form, please call 604 276-3100, or toll free at 1-888-621-7233.
