Worker Health & Safety Awareness in 4 Steps is mandatory knowledge for all workers in Ontario.
This Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD) training introduces workers to the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It focuses on the health and safety rights and responsibilities of workers, supervisors, and employers. It also serves as a general introduction to workplace health and safety.
Workers can use the free training program as one way to meet the minimum training required by the Occupational Health and Safety Awareness and Training regulation.
The Occupational health and safety awareness training provides a basic understanding of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), and does not replace any sector specific, hazard specific, or competency specific training.
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
(AODA)
This online learning module takes approximately 1 hour to complete.
Progress can be saved and resumed at a later time if needed.
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was enacted to expand the government’s mission to offer full accessibility to all disabled Ontarians by 2025. Its purpose is to recognize the history of discrimination against persons with disabilities in Ontario. It is meant to benefit all Ontarians by a) developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025; and b) providing for the involvement of persons with disabilities, of the Government of Ontario and of representatives of industries and of various sectors of the economy in the development of the accessibility standards.
The training program will cover basic information about AODA, comprehensive details about its standards, and the benefits they offer Ontarians.
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) 2015
This online learning module takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
Please allow ample time.
** PROGRESS CANNOT BE SAVED **
On February 11, 2015, the Government of Canada published the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR), which modified the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) 1988 to incorporate the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
This modified WHMIS is referred to as WHMIS 2015.
While WHMIS 2015 includes new criteria, the roles and responsibilities for suppliers, employers and workers have not changed. Employers continue to educate and train workers on the hazards and safe use of hazardous products in the workplace and workers continue to participate in WHMIS and chemical safety training programs.
This WHMIS 2015 training is designed using adult learning principles so that it is very easy to do but results in excellent learning to improve safety in your workplace.
