HF 3528
Retail Worker Safety
We’ve all heard about the retail worker in Canada, Gursimran Kaur who burned to death at 19 years old in a walk in oven, that can not close without force, in a Walmart. This bill will stop those incidents from happening. Bill HF 3528 makes every retail store have a prepardness and an incidence response plan to acts of violence. These acts include hazards and corrective measures for the unit, services, and operations. The action plan must include, identifying, evaluating, and correcting workplace violence, with training and a way to report any incidents.
The only con of this bill is that every retail store will need a designated committee to write the plan and review it every year. Other than that HF 3528 will protect any retail workers violence that may occur between coworkers, worker and customer, and machines that may cause violence or harm to the worker.
