Liability Risk and Insurance

“Ratifying the convention is a welcome statement of intent. Unions have campaigned hard for several years to get global protection
against workplace violence and harassment, and today’s ratification will help to get other nations signed up too. It now comes
down to the action and enforcement that follows. No matter who you are, or the job you do, you should be safe from violence
and harassment at work … Unions, government and industry must now work together on the laws and workplace policies needed
to prevent abuse and punish those responsible. This should include recognising that not every worker faces the same risks.
Insecure workers, frontline staff, women, Black workers and those with other protected characteristics face greater risks
that must be addressed.” TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady on the UK Government’s ratification of the International Labour
Organization’s Violence and Harassment Convention.
