Workplace Safety and Prevention Services (WSPS) has a number of free resources, templates and online training sessions scheduled throughout 2025 to provide workers, managers, employers and supervisors with knowledge, tools and resources on workplace violence and harassment and mental health.

Workplace violence and harassment

Workplace violence and harassment have become pressing concerns for businesses across Ontario, with a noticeable rise in both organized crime and disruptive behaviour. These threats pose serious risks to employees' well-being, organizational culture and overall productivity — costing companies millions annually due to injuries, legal penalties and lost efficiency. 

Free resources available on the WSPS to help businesses combat workplace violence and harassment include:

• Workplace Violence Policy Sample Form
• Violence and Harassment Reporting Form  
• Workplace Violence Assessment
• Developing Workplace Violence and Harassment Policies and Programs: A Toolbox

Mental health

WSPS also offers a variety of mental health training that provides essential knowledge and skills to identify and control mental health hazards in the workplace.

Mental health training enhances employee well-being, boosts productivity by reducing absenteeism, promotes a positive workplace culture by reducing stigma and discrimination, and ensures legal compliance with workplace safety regulations.

Links to the various online training and free resources can be found via the WSPS website at wsps.ca or listed under the Resources section below.
