Section 1: Working Environment Risks

Consider the potential risks in the workplace environment that may expose staff to sexual harassment:

• [ ] Night Shifts: Are staff required to work at night, when the workplace may be quieter, less supervised, or isolated?
• [ ] Workplace Culture: Is there a culture of banter, jokes, or casual sexism that may be difficult for employees to challenge?
• [ ] Isolated Work: Do employees work alone or in isolated areas where harassment may go unnoticed or unreported?
• [ ] Third-Party Interactions: Do employees regularly interact with third parties (e.g., contractors, clients, the public), especially when alone, increasing the risk of harassment from outside individuals?
• [ ] High-Pressure Environments: Are staff working in stressful or competitive environments where power dynamics might lead to inappropriate behaviour?
• [ ] Alcohol Consumption: Is alcohol consumed in the workplace, or are staff encouraged to attend events where alcohol is present, heightening the risk of misconduct?

Preventative Considerations:

• Implement clear policies about behaviour during night shifts or isolated work.
• Establish regular culture checks to ensure respect and inclusivity.
