Findings of the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner in the matter of an investigation into a disclosure of wrongdoing : Fisheries and Oceans Canada : case report.: PG4-22/2017E-PDF
“This case report, which I have tabled in Parliament as provided for in the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act (the Act) outlines wrongdoing committed at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans when vital information about harmful sound levels on program vessels was withheld from employees for a period of seven months. Employers have an obligation to ensure a safe and healthy work environment and to notify employees of every known health or safety hazard in the workplace. In this case, not sharing and directing employees not to share information with their staff and colleagues about an issue that could affect something as important as someone’s hearing is of serious concern. It is not in keeping with management’s responsibilities and certainly does not demonstrate transparency, engagement, collaboration and respectful communication. This case report can also serve as a caution that long‐term goals of establishing national approaches within federal organizations cannot come at a cost to employees’ health and safety”--Foreward, p. 2.
