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.

40% of accidents involving cranes and rigging involve a load loss, the consequences of which are often dramatic. Operators are required to ensure the operational integrity of their equipment, to control the various operating maneuvers and to apply the best rigging practices when lifting loads. This online training covers four subjects:
Overhead crane: Basics and inspection
Load lifting and safe operations
Slinging and lifting accessories
Lifting signals

In some work environments, there may be contaminants present as gases, fumes, vapors, dusts or mists. In those cases, wear a respiratory protective equipment adapted to the contaminant, to protect your respiratory tract. This free video capsule will present an overview of the subject.

Business risk analysis allows you to evaluate the probability and severity of risks, by using a process or a method to prioritize them. This free video capsule will present an overview of the subject.

Risk management is the foundation of any workplace injury reduction strategy. While the responsibility for managing these risks is shared between the employer and workers, all are responsible for remaining vigilant. Employers and employees must work together to implement preventive measures and stop before performing any task that involves risk.
This capsule is a preview of the concepts covered in the Cognibox training on the safe task analysis approach. It covers topics such as the sharing of responsibilities, the methodological approach, and the pedagogical objectives of the training.

In many sectors, workers may be required to work alone or in isolated workplaces. While it's not always dangerous to work in an isolated location, there are circumstances where performing tasks in isolated locations can present increased risks to the worker's health and safety.

During this training, you will learn more about jobs and activities at risk in isolated locations, how to identify sources of risk that need to be controlled, appropriate means of communication, and emergency procedures for staying safe.

Using a scaffold to perform work at height exposes workers to several hazards, such as collapse or tipping of the scaffold. To avoid injuries or accidents, scaffolds must be erected in accordance with certain safety rules. This training covers the characteristics of the different types of scaffolding, the safety rules to follow, the steps for their assembly as well as the good practices to adopt.

Using a scaffolding to perform work at height exposes workers to several dangers.

This educational capsule addresses the different types of scaffolding, the safety rules to follow, and the good practices to adopt.

Description:
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 creation of a lifting plan and the included items, the selection of lifting accessories and the correct attachment methods to use for the item to be lifted. In addition, you will discover the reasons for creating a critical lifting plan.

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.

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 transportation of dangerous goods (TDG) requires special precautions depending on the type and characteristics of the materials transported. This training covers the main elements of the regulations in place to control their handling and transportation.

When an accident occurs with a vehicle transporting hazardous materials, the consequences can be serious for the people involved and the environment.
In this capsule, we will give you an overview of the regulations and classification of hazardous products, the usefulness of schedules, the transport containers, and the placards to affix to them, as well as the important documents to complete.

Modern slavery is a major and undeniable global problem. It should concern everyone. Every company in the world should be aware of its existence and take the necessary steps to ensure that modern slavery does not take place in their supply chains.
This training course was developed by the Slave-Free Alliance, a social enterprise wholly owned by Hope for Justice, a global non-profit organisation working to end human trafficking and modern slavery in order to protect human rights.
You will discover the forms of exploitation (e.g., forced labour, sexual exploitation), some surprising facts, the subtle signs of control, the risks to which your organisation could be exposed and contact details if you have any concerns or need advice.

Dozens of accidents and illnesses linked to hazardous materials could be avoided every year.
In this educational capsule, you'll learn more about what WHMIS is, including hazardous product classification, labelling and product safety data sheets.

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.

Aerial work platforms provide a temporary work space and are an alternative to ladders or scaffolding. They can be used for inspections, maintenance or repairs.
This training will allow you to learn more about the safe and effective operation of a boom lift and aerial work platform.
