Level 1 Occupational Health & Safety: 30 hours

This course is also the pre-requisite for Instructor training.
WHSC
3-Day Bundle: Wednesday to Friday
Making the Link Between Occupational Disease and the Workplace: 15 Hours
Occupational disease claims more worker lives than traumatic fatalities yet remains greatly under recognized and unaddressed. WHSC Making the Link Between Occupational Disease and the Workplace is a two-day program designed to equip workers and their representatives with the knowledge, skills, and tools to understand and advocate for occupational disease prevention. Through engaging activities, participants will learn about the science of epidemiology and environmental monitoring and their limits, body mapping exercises, workplace inspections, job hazard analysis, worker surveys and exposure profiles and their role in occupational disease prevention.
UPDATED GHS/WHMIS: 3 Hours
Training workers about hazardous exposures on the job is legally mandated but its’ also a tool to help identify and prevent exposures that can lead to disease. Research evidence suggest between five and 16 per cent of cancers are work-related. When we fail to link toxic workplace exposures to occupational diseases cases also go unreported and undercompensated. This is especially true for occupational illnesses including cancer which typically have long latency periods between workplace exposure(s) and disease onset.
UPDATED Documenting Health & Safety: 3 Hours
The WHSCs three-hour program, ‘Documenting Health and Safety’ is a hands-on, jump-start documenting system developed in response to this need. Participants will examine six basic areas: (1) why documenting health and safety is critical, (2) ways to document, (3) specific types of documents to use (4) what to document (5) when to document, and (6) how to organize their documents. Participants take part in a work refusal and sit in on a JHSC meeting to practice their note taking skills while listening to interactive audio-led worksheets. Action Objective: Identify, track, document and detail health and safety issues at work to improve working conditions and protect workers from reprisals
