The Workers’ Safety and Compensation Board (WSCB) is launching a new app to help employers and workers fulfill their obligation to improve Yukon workplace safety.

The app is a resource to deliver accurate workplace violence and harassment prevention information to Yukoners in an easy-to-access and secure manner.

It is designed to work on any mobile device and can be saved from the link below to a home screen, with its own tile for easy access. 

The content is taken from the Workplace Violence and Harassment Prevention Guide and describes responsibilities, hazard assessment, policy and procedures, training and investigations.
