WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Material Information System)

WHMIS is a national hazard communication standard. It encompasses such key elements as labeling of “controlled products”, provision of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and employee education and training. The federal, provincial and territorial regulations stipulate that it is the responsibility of the employer to have such products properly labeled, stored, handled and disposed of and provide training to all employees involved in handling hazardous materials to ensure workplace safety. Our training course not only teaches basics of WHMIS, but our instructors adapt course content with your company’s environment in mind. Training addresses specific hazards in your workplace and teaches your employees ways to protect themselves and those around them.

The course includes the following topics:

The purpose of WHMIS legislation
Responsibilities of the Supplier, Employer, Supervisor, and Worker
Employee’s rights – Right to Know, Right to Participate and Right to Refuse Unsafe Work
Cautionary labeling
Material Safety Data Sheets – how to read them, how to handle materials safely, what precautionary methods to use, what are the health hazards associated with a particular material, emergency management, first aid measures.

Fall Protection

Falls from height are the leading cause of accidental death and injury on the job in Ontario. Ladders, roofs, and scaffolds represent essential fall hazards, particularly in the construction industry. CFTC Fall Protection Course is designed to give workers the means and knowledge to prevent and protect themselves from falls from height and reduce fall-related injuries. Participants will be trained in the selection and use of proper protection procedures and gear, inspection, and maintenance of protective equipment.

The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), Reg. 851, section 85 states that; “Where a worker is exposed to the hazard of falling and the surface to which he or she might fall is more than three meters below the position where he or she is situated.

The worker shall wear a serviceable safety belt or harness and lifeline adequately secured to a fixed support and so arranged that the worker cannot fall freely for a vertical distance of more than 1.5 meters; and
The fall arresting system described in clause (a) shall,
Have sufficient capacity to absorb twice the energy and twice the load that under the circumstances of its use may be transmitted to it, and
Be equipped with a shock absorber or other devices to limit the maximum arresting force to 8.0 kilonewtons to the wearer.

TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods)

TDG is a national program established to promote public safety during transportation and handling of dangerous materials, whether they are moved by road, rail, air, or sea. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act stipulates compliance with international requirements for classification, labeling, and marking of means of containment, transport documentation, and safety marks for dangerous goods. The regulations also specify that people involved in handling such goods must be appropriately trained to ensure their and public safety.
