Psychosocial Hazard & Violence Prevention

Risk assessment, policy, and program design that meet current legislative requirements and hold up under inspection.

Workplace violence, harassment, and psychosocial hazards are increasingly regulated as one category of risk, not three separate problems.

Sprout Safety designs assessment, policy, and program solutions that treat them that way, built to meet current requirements under Nova Scotia's Violence in the Workplace Regulations and the Workplace Health and Safety Regulations harassment provisions.
