Health and Safety Awareness training for Kitchener employers

Kitchener employers come to us for this course largely from advanced manufacturing and a large skilled-trades employer base. The worker program covers OHSA rights and duties, the role of the JHSC, common hazards and reporting. The supervisor program adds the duties of a supervisor, hazard control and the internal responsibility system. Both are required by regulation and are frequently the first item a Ministry inspector asks to see.

Maintain the training records an inspector will request

How on-site delivery works in Kitchener

We bring the training to your Kitchener premises. You supply a room and, where the course requires a practical evaluation, the equipment your team actually uses. That matters: an operator assessed on your own lift truck in your own aisles is a more meaningful competency record than one assessed on unfamiliar equipment elsewhere.
