Training
Programs
We believe that training is the first key to the success of any
Health and Safety Program. The Occupational Health and Safety Act and
regulations requires all supervisors and workers in Ontario to be trained in
WHMIS, fall protection and must be familiar with the Occupational Health and
Safety Act and regulations that apply to the work.
If you have an critical injury or death in the workplace, one of the first
items that an employer will be asked to produce
by the MOL is the workers record of
training (ROT), an employer must be able to produce current record of training.
If an employee told you they have been trained while working for
another contractor but
it was several years ago, you must re-train that employee to ensure proper
current training and proof of it. Training should be an on going program within
any organization. WHMIS is an annual review, Propane training must be updated
every 3 years, First Aid must also be updated every 3 years, we recommend that
other records of training be current within 3 years.
On several construction projects, health and safety is completely overlooked in
the interest of the bottom line. However it has been proven by several
companies; once safety is incorporated into the everyday schedule, and mindset
of management, supervisor and the worker, associated costs will be reduced,
actually making you money! Workers will work to the level that others are, and
to a level that they perceive they are expected to.
 |
This is why training is so
important, workers and supervisors are trained to know exactly what is expected
of them according to the OHSA. And with the recent amendments to the criminal
code of Canada made under Bill C-45, if
you neglect safety and cut corners to save a buck, endangering the lives of
workers, criminal charges are a possibility.
BuildSafe - Construction Safety Services Inc.
offers regularly scheduled courses in
Cambridge, Hamilton & Mississauga, we will also run specific courses at a
time and place convenient for the client (southern Ontario). In order to ensure effective training,
there is a quiz for all courses. Upon successful completion of the training, we
will issue a wallet card and a record of training (ROT) verifying successful
completion by the participants.
Contractors with more than 8* workers to be trained, can schedule a specific
time and place for training.
