RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITE TRAINING: * FALL PROTECTION AND PREVENTION - INTRODUCTION (SLIPS, TRIPS AND FALLS) * FALL PROTECTION AND PREVENTION - LADDERS AND STEPLADDERS Any worker having to work at heights should know the risks associated with his tasks, and know what means of protection to use, to prevent incidents. As part of this training, you will learn more about the main risks of falling and the means of control, the life-saving procedure and the risks associated with hanging, as well as the inspection, adjustment, and maintenance procedures of personal fall protection equipment.

Ladders and stepladders are common tools that nobody is concerned about. Yet, they cause an incredible number of accidents, some of which are very serious. This training will provide workers with the knowledge and working methods required to work safely on ladders or stepladders.

Slips and falls are accidents in which a worker is thrown off balance while on the ground. These events, which still occur too frequently, can be avoided. This training will equip you to prevent falls and slips in the workplace.

During this training, you will learn about the different types of asbestos and their health related risk. Also, you will be informed on where you should be cautious to the presence of asbestos in your work environment. This training is an introductory to asbestos.

Risks considered as critical are those that can cause serious permanent damage or even death to workers.
Each type of work or operation causes different critical risks. Therefore, it is important not only to know the critical risks, but to target and prioritize each specific intervention for each environment.

Description :
Les appareils de levage sont des équipements de manutention très utilisés dans les secteurs industriels. Étant indispensables au transport des charges lourdes, ils présentent des risques multiples.

Dans le cadre de cette formation, vous en apprendrez davantage sur les étapes importantes du levage des charges, les rôles et responsabilités de chaque intervenant en manipulation de charges, ainsi que les dangers pouvant menacer la sécurité durant la manipulation des équipements de levage.

Notez qu’en complément à cette formation théorique, une formation pratique est souvent nécessaire et même obligatoire, comme c'est le cas au Québec. Renseignez-vous auprès de votre employeur ou chargé de projet.

Accident investigation and analysis is not about finding a culprit. In this prevention activity, you will be able to determine how and, more importantly, why the accident occurred. Investing in this activity will prevent history from repeating itself. It allows the company to have better control over the risks. In the end, everyone wins!

Vous désirez démarrer un comité de SST ? Vous avez déjà un comité mais vous n’êtes pas tout à fait satisfait de son fonctionnement ?
Un comité de SST participe activement à l’identification des risques, au choix des correctifs à apporter par des recommandations judicieuses à faire à l’employeur. Afin d’être une équipe efficace, établir des règles de fonctionnement vous aidera à consacrer votre temps de rencontre sur l’essentiel.
Ainsi, votre crédibilité comme équipe vous permettra d’engager plus facilement les travailleurs dans le parcours de prévention.

Any worker having to work at heights should know the risks associated with his tasks, and know what means of protection to use, to prevent incidents.

As part of this training, you will learn more about the main risks of falling and the means of control, the life-saving procedure and the risks associated with hanging, as well as the inspection, adjustment, and maintenance procedures of personal fall protection equipment.

The human body has a usual internal temperature of 37⁰C or 98⁰F. Since the body reacts when its internal temperature varies (thermal discomfort, heat stress), it is important to know the causes and prevent them.

The number of “stupid” accidents that result from slipping, tripping or losing balance is amazing and worrisome, especially since they can sometimes have serious consequences. This online training addresses the main causes of falls, slips and loss of balance, as well as ways to prevent them.

Lifting devices are material handling equipment widely used in industrial sectors. Required for the transportation of heavy loads, they present multiple risks.

As part of this training, you will learn more about the important steps of load lifting, the roles and responsibilities of each worker involved in load handling, as well as the hazards that can compromise safety while handling a lifting equipment.

Note that in addition to this theoretical training, practical training is often necessary and even mandatory, as is the case in Quebec. Ask your employer or project manager for more information.

Falling from a ladder or stepladder is one of the main causes of accidents. That is why the worker must know good practices of usage.

As part of this training, you will learn more about how to choose a ladder or stepladder according to the task to perform, how to inspect and use them safely, as well as the handling and storage of this equipment.

It is not unusual that fires in the workplace occur during the execution of a quick five-minutes task in an area which is not suitable for welding and cutting. The Hot Work e-learning is a dynamic and interactive training that can be carried out with your web browser 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without any supervision.

Did you know that hearing does not regenerate? Hearing damage is irreversible. A hearing aid can, at most, compensate, but will never restore a person’s hearing. Someone subjected to 100 dB (noise of a lawnmower) for 40 hours a week, after 20 years, will, on average, experience a 48% hearing loss. Through this online training, the worker will be made aware of the importance of using adequate hearing protection to preserve their hearing health.

Often, a crane operator does not have a clear view of the load during a lift, so he must rely on a spotter, or signal person, to guide him. Safe lifting requires a reliable communication channel between the crane operator and the signal person. Even though radios can be used, hand signals are often the most reliable form of communication.

Rigging is a very important element of safety for the use of lifting equipment. Dangerous rigging can lead to instability or a drop of the load, which can lead to property damage or injury.

A properly rigged load is stable, safe, consistent with equipment capabilities, and minimally hazardous to personnel and equipment.

Lift trucks are now used everywhere, in all sectors, to handle heavy loads. The worker must therefore know the good practices to apply when using them.

As part of this training, you will learn more about the several types of lift trucks, accident causes, stability principle, operator safety, and general safety rules of the equipment.

The sounds emitted by certain equipment or the noise level of certain work environments could have a serious impact on workers' hearing if they are not adequately protected. When ambient noise cannot be reduced to a safe level with source mitigation measures, the use of hearing protectors becomes necessary. This training will allow you to learn more about the hearing protection equipment available and their proper use.

Fire extinguishers are first response tool allowing to act on incipient fire. The source of a fire may vary, and using the wrong extinguisher type can not only be ineffective, but can, in some cases, aggravate a situation. This training covers the fire extinguisher types, and explains how to use them and maintain their good condition.
