Restraining Orders

This section defines harassment for the purpose of getting an order for protection against harassment in the workplace.

Harassment in the workplace is when a person threatens or causes:

• Bodily injury to himself/herself or another person;
• Damage to the property of another person; or
• Substantial harm to the physical health, mental health or safety of a person.

The threat or act must be against an employer, an employee while performing duties of employment, or a person present at the workplace of the employer.¹

Note: To qualify as harassment, the victim must reasonably fear that the harasser’s threat will be carried out and/or the harasser’s actions must reasonably cause the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or harassed.<sup>1
