Health and safety awareness is the starting point for working safely in Canada. Before you use equipment, handle chemicals or work at heights, you need to know the basics: your rights, your duties, and how to spot and report hazards. Employers across Canada must make sure workers have this kind of basic safety knowledge.
This course is built for new hires, young and student workers, temporary and contract staff, and anyone returning to work. It is also a good refresher for office, retail, warehouse, hospitality and healthcare workers.
You will learn how health and safety works in Canada, the rights and duties of workers, supervisors and employers, and how to recognize and control common hazards. The course also covers emergency response and first aid basics, WHMIS, occupational diseases, safety policies and procedures, how to get involved through safety committees, and how to refuse unsafe work.
The course is 100% online and self-paced, and it works on desktop, tablet or phone. You get unlimited free exam retakes (pass mark 80%), an instant digital certificate when you pass, and a physical wallet card mailed free. The course is available in English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Hindi, Mandarin and more.
The training follows Canadian OHS requirements and is recognized by employers across Canada. Your employer must still give you a site-specific orientation on the hazards and procedures at your workplace.
