COMITÉ SECTORIEL DE MAIN-D'ŒUVRE DE L'INDUSTRIE MARITIME LAUNCHES A NEW TRAINING COURSE ON PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT ADAPTED TO THE MARITIME INDUSTRY

Québec City, September 28, 2023 - The Comité sectoriel de main-d'œuvre de l'industrie maritime (CSMOIM) has just launched its brand new training program on Psychological and Sexual Harassment: Awareness and Training adapted to the reality of maritime industry personnel. The course is available in virtual format (online) and is aimed at workers in the maritime industry (land-based and seagoing). Collège de Rimouski has been mandated to develop this training program. This project was made possible thanks to the financial support of the CNESST through its Program to Combat Psychological and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. 

In response to a request from players in the Quebec maritime industry, the CSMOIM is now offering a training course that demystifies the concept of harassment, proposes interventions and delineates the responsibilities of employers and employees, all while presenting situation scenarios adapted to and inspired by the maritime context. Lasting approximately three (3) hours, this training is offered online. 

Harcèlement psychologique et sexuel : Sensibilisation et formation adaptée à la réalité du personnel du secteur maritime offers ten (10) modules, including a presentation of the legal and legislative context, a description of an inclusive and safe work environment, and guidelines for action to be taken when a victim, witness or accused of harassment. A toolbox is also available in the last module of this training course.  

For further information, please consult the training fact sheet Harcèlement psychologique et sexuel : Sensibilisation et formation adaptée à la réalité du personnel du secteur maritime.
