Workplace accidents are more common than you might think. In 2018, the Association of Worker's Compensation Boards of Canada recorded 265,000 accepted claims for work-related injury or disease and 1,027 workplace fatalities, up by 5.5% and 7.4% from the previous year, respectively. While these alone are quite significant numbers, keep in mind that they exclude unreported or rejected cases, meaning the total number of incidents is likely much higher.
Employees and employers alike suffer from inadequate safety measures in the workplace, just as they both benefit from adopting and enforcing effective health and safety procedures. Indeed, performing ones duties in a safe environment creates a sense of value and respect among among workers, increasing productivity and commitment.
This course has been developed to provide learners with an introduction to workplace health and safety in Canada. Participants will learn about basic health and safety practices, policies, and procedures designed to help create a safer working environment for everyone. The content of this course is based on the provincial Occupation Health and Safety (OHS) Acts of Canada, and meets the required basic safety awareness training criteria for all provinces.
