BOSSES could face enforcement action from the equalities regulator if they fail to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment as a new law comes into force next month.

The legislation introduces a preventative duty on employers to stop workplace harassment, instead of relying on employees to report incidents.

The Worker Protection Act, due to come in on October 26, is aimed at improving workplace cultures and preventing sexual harassment.
