Like many other commercial web sites, the IT Weapons’ web site may use a standard technology called a “cookie” to collect information about how you use the site.

A cookie is a small string of text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your e-mail address. Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the user’s visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user’s ID and password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections in a “shopping cart.” It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being stored – this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept or decline the cookie.

Workplace Violence Policy

The management of IT Weapons Inc. is committed to the prevention of workplace violence and is ultimately responsible for worker health and safety. We will take whatever steps are reasonable to protect our workers from workplace violence from all sources.

Workplace violence is defined as:

  1. the exercise of physical force by a person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical injury to the worker;
  2. an attempt to exercise physical force against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker;
  3. a statement or behaviour that is reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the worker.

This definition applies to the legal requirements under the OHSA. Types of workplace violence include hitting, pushing, physical assault, sexual assault, stalking, criminal harassment, robbery and threats.

Domestic violence becomes a form of workplace violence when it occurs in the workplace and is interpreted in a manner consistent with the definition of workplace violence. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviour used by one person to gain power and control over another with whom he/she has or has had an intimate relationship. This pattern of behaviour may include physical violence; sexual, emotional and psychological intimidation; verbal abuse; stalking; and using electronic devices to harass and control.

Violent behavior in the workplace is unacceptable from anyone. This policy applies to employees, visitors, clients, delivery persons and sub-contractors. Workplace violence can come from many sources.

It is important to consider the risk from all potential sources so you can implement the appropriate prevention controls.

Sources of workplace violence can be classified into four types:

  • Type I (external – no relationship to employer): Committed by a perpetrator who has no relationship to the workplace (e.g. stranger).
  • Type II (client or customer): The perpetrator is a client, or customer at the workplace.
  • Type III (worker-to-worker): The perpetrator (boss, co-worker, subordinate) is an employee or past employee of the workplace.
  • Type IV (domestic violence): The perpetrator (family member, former family or friends) usually has a relationship with an employee, e.g. domestic violence in the workplace.

Everyone is expected to uphold this policy and to work together to prevent workplace violence. There is a workplace violence program that implements this policy. It includes measures and procedures to protect workers from workplace violence, a means of summoning immediate assistance and a process for workers to report incidents, or raise concerns.

IT Weapons Inc., as the employer, will ensure this policy and the supporting program are implemented and maintained and that all workers and supervisors have the appropriate information and instruction to protect them from violence in the workplace.

Supervisors will adhere to this policy and the supporting program. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that measures and procedures are followed by workers and that workers have the information they need to protect themselves.

Every worker must work in compliance with this policy and the supporting program. All workers are encouraged to raise any concerns about workplace violence and to report any violent incidents or threats. Employees may report incidents in several ways. They may wish to discuss the matter in person or by phone with their manager, another manager at IT Weapons Inc., a member of the Human Resource Team or a member of the Occupational Health and Safety committee who will assist them in filling out an incident report. They may wish to alternatively fill out the incident report and send a PDF copy or printed copy to one of the above mentioned persons.   There will be no negative consequences for reports made in good faith.

Management pledges to investigate and deal with all incidents and complaints of workplace violence in a fair and timely manner, respecting the privacy of all concerned as much as possible. The workplace harassment policy should be consulted whenever there are concerns about harassment in the workplace.

Security at IT Weapons

Service organizations or service providers must demonstrate that they have adequate controls and safeguards when they host or process data belonging to their customers.
