The orders required the employer to develop a health and safety program including a policy on workplace violence and to train staff.

The Ministry of Labour and the union did not oppose the suspension request.

The Board granted the suspension, finding that the employer already had an established health and safety program, the balance of harm favoured the employer, and there was a significant likelihood of success on appeal.
