Vancouver Island University is committed to preventing, managing, and responding appropriately to incidents of violence, threatening behaviour, harassment, or intimidation to provide a safe, secure, and productive learning and working environment for all members of the campus community. VIU has developed a Violence Prevention Program, which describes the requirements and procedures established by VIU for the prevention, management and investigation of violence in the workplace. Departments and Faculties should conduct a risk assessment to determine the level of risk present in their work area and then develop strategies to eliminate or mitigate the identified risks.
