Description
According to Wikipedia: Anti-bullying legislation is legislation enacted to help reduce and eliminate bullying. This legislation may be national or sub-national, and is commonly aimed at ending bullying in schools or workplaces
Australia’s Fair Work Commission has stated that:
Bullying at work, as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009, occurs when:
-
- a person or a group of people behaves unreasonably and repeatedly towards a worker or a group of workers while at work, and
- the behaviour creates a risk to health and safety.
Bullying does not include reasonable management action carried out in a reasonable manner.

This should be one of an organisation’s WHS procedures.
Internal Compliance
Many organisations have implemented Anti-bullying policies and procedures. We recommend these are reviewed at least every 5 years.
External Compliance
The general question that buyers need to ask is “Are my suppliers meeting all their regulatory obligations?“
If anti-bullying legislation exists in your country, should you ask your suppliers to provide copies of their anti-bullying policies? How committed is your corporate culture in this regard? What is the potential risk or brand damage to your business if a supplier is found to bully its staff?
As Strytex is a shared system, it’s easy to require suppliers to provide copies of their anti-bullying policies and procedures.
