Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario

WeRPN, with support from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, is pleased to present 8 self-learning modules on Workplace Violence Prevention.

In 2010, Ontario revised legislation under Bill 168 to specifically strengthen protection against workplace violence and harassment. However, each of us can also make a difference in the workplace. The development of the Workplace Violence Prevention Toolkit was designed to support nurse’s knowledge and confidence in addressing workplace violence and harassment in their workplace.

The self-learning modules were developed in 10 sections (Intro, Overview and 8 modules) to provide flexibility of completion; determine the number of modules that best fits your timeframe and return at any time to complete the series. Once you have viewed all 10 modules, please continue to our Workplace Violence Prevention Quiz where upon successful completion an email will be generated and sent to the address you have provided.
