On August 31, 2011, Manitoba’s Workplace Safety and Health Regulation 107 was amended to include new requirements to protect workers from violence in the workplace.

Key changes include the requirement that workplaces providing public services develop and follow a violence prevention policy.

According to the legislation, employers must:

• Develop and implement a violence prevention policy at the workplace.
• Train workers in the violence prevention policy.
• Ensure that workers comply with the violence prevention policy.

CPI can help.
CPI educates and empowers professionals to enrich lives and create safer, more respectful work environments. Since 1980, more than six million professionals worldwide—from organizational leaders to direct care staff—have participated in CPI programs and learned proven strategies for safely responding to challenging behavior in schools, hospitals, care facilities, mental and behavioral health settings, and a variety of business environments.


In addition to training programs, CPI offers several violence prevention resources, including two templates to help your organization develop effective policies and procedures and meet Manitoba’s new rules.
