Risk factors (internal and external) contribute to harassment and violence. This part must assess:

• The culture, conditions, activities, and organizational structure of the workplace;
• Circumstances external to the workplace, such as family violence, that could give rise to harassment and violence in the workplace;
• Any reports, records, and data that are related to harassment and violence in the workplace; and
• The measures in place to protect psychological health and safety in the workplace.

Within six months after the risk factors are identified, the employer and JHSC will jointly:

• Develop preventive measures that mitigate the risk of harassment and violence in the workplace and neither create nor increase the risk of harassment and violence in the workplace; and
• Develop an implementation plan for the preventive measures and implement the preventive measures.

Changes to the above will be adjusted as necessary and employees will be provided with communications and training as required. A review may be triggered by multiple occurrences of the same matters. Those who identify risk factors must be qualified to do so by virtue of their training, education, or experience.
