“When an employer is aware that a worker is or is likely to be exposed to domestic violence at a work site, the employer must take reasonable precautions to protect the worker and any other persons at the work site likely to be affected.” OHS Code Part 27, Section 390.3
Domestic violence is included in the definition of violence in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act.
If an employer knows that a domestic violence incident might come into the workplace, they must take steps to protect workers.
Workers must report to their employer or supervisor if they think domestic violence is (or might be) occurring at the work site.
