Fall Prevention: Know how to protect yourself, how to identify hazards and prevent accidents on the job. This course includes an industry standard overview of safe use of equipment, knowledge of regulations and safe practices for trades’ workers.
Confined Spaces Safety: This half-day course is an effective introduction or refresher for all workers who must enter, work or assist in areas that are poorly ventilated, difficult to access and where the quality of the air may be poor or unknown. Participants will gain the knowledge required to recognize the different classes of confined spaces by degree of hazard, and follow appropriate procedures for entry into confined spaces.
This course provides an overview of Section 85 of the Regulations for Industrial Establishments under the Occupational Health and Safety Act state:
85. Where a worker is exposed to the hazard of falling and the surface to which he or she might fall is more than three metres below the position where he or she is situated,
(a) the worker shall wear a serviceable safety belt or harness and lifeline adequately secured to a fixed support and so arranged that the worker cannot fall freely for a vertical distance of more than 1.5 metres; and
(b) the fall arresting system described in clause (a) shall,
(i) have sufficient capacity to absorb twice the energy and twice the load that under the circumstances of its use may be transmitted to it, and
(ii) be equipped with a shock absorber or other devices to limit the maximum arresting force to 8.0 kilonewtons to the wearer. R.R.O. 1990, Reg.851, s. 85.
