A violent incident encompasses any aggressive act that causes physical or emotional harm to member and includes violence or any threatening statement that gives the member reasonable cause to believe there is a risk of physical or emotional harm. Intent is not a factor in determining risk to members. It does not matter that an assailant may be incapable of making a reasoned judgement prior to acting.

ETFO members who have been victims of violence at work should complete a Violent Incident Report as soon as possible. Upon completion, send one copy of the report to Greg Weiler and keep one copy for your records. The report is kept confidential, but its purpose is to gather information about the extent and nature of such incidents, and also to assist in developing strategies to improve the health and safety of members. Please also continue to complete any incident reports required under WRDSB policy, WSIB, etc.
