9 Sexual Harassment

Third-party sexual harassment occurs when a member of our workforce is subjected to sexual harassment by someone who is not part of our workforce but who is encountered in connection with work. This includes our customers, suppliers, members of the public.

Third-party sexual harassment of our workforce is unlawful and will not be tolerated. The law requires employers to take steps to prevent sexual harassment by third parties and we are committed to doing so.

We take a zero-tolerance approach to third-party harassment of our workforce. Any complaints of third-party harassment will be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. We may immediately terminate our services to a customer without liability to us if any complaint is upheld, and we reserve the right to suspend services pending investigation of any complaint.

Any criminal acts will be reported to the police, and we will share information relating to the incident with our other branches to ensure that we maintain a consistent approach to the cessation of our services.
