Course Summary

Effective July 1, 2014, Ontario employers have to ensure that all workers and supervisors have completed a basic occupational health and safety awareness training program. The first of its kind in North America, the new regulation mandates basic safety awareness training for all workers.

Each employer in Ontario has a responsibility to provide workers with the information and instruction required to perform their job safely. Our course assists employers in fulfilling this obligation by providing workers with information about their rights and responsibilities as outlined in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, as well as the importance of safety in the workplace.

Our content aligns with the requirements outlined in the Ministry of Labour worker awareness workbook.
