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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Welding, brazing and cutting are examples of ignition sources near flammable materials. This is what we call "hot work." The techniques and tools used to perform these jobs must be done within defined parameters. This training covers the safety items necessary to avoid accident and fire risks.

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.

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.

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.

Whether at home or at work, hand protection is essential to prevent injuries and accidents. Your hands are precious and very vulnerable, as they are at the forefront of your daily tasks. In this training course, you will learn about risk analysis and controls, and how to select the right gloves for your job.

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a comprehensive system for providing information on the safe use of hazardous materials in Canadian workplaces through labels, safety data sheets (SDS), worker education and training programs. This training will allow you to learn more about this system and its applications.

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.

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 training will allow you to learn more about the equipment available and how to adjust it.

Every day in our workplaces, we use tools. These objects that were invented to meet specific needs and help us in our tasks can also present safety risks. This training will allow you to learn more about the different types of manual and motorized tools as well as the safety rules to follow when handling them.
