Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Programs
Making Alberta a Safer Place to Live, Work and Play.
OHS courses are essential for anyone who works in a setting that puts them at risk of occupational hazards. These courses equip workers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to protect themselves and those around them from potentially dangerous workplace conditions. In Alberta, OH&S courses are in high demand, as the provincial government has made it a priority to provide top-quality training opportunities to workers across all industries. Whether you’re currently working in Alberta or looking for a career change, enrolling in an OH&S course is an excellent way to improve your professional skills and gain valuable knowledge that can help keep you and others safe on the job.
Our OH&S Programs
Incident Investigation
Each day, workplace incidents harm people, property, quality, production and the environment.
An incident investigation is the best and most efficient way to find the cause of an incident and – in turn – control the hazard, preventing similar incidents and further harm.
Inspections
No workplace is free of hazards, even after occupational safety measures have been put in place. Equipment use, changing work conditions and other variables mean that in order to have the safest workplace possible, you need to inspect early and often.
Job Task Analysis
When you react to an incident, it means illness, injury or a near-miss has already happened. It is important for workplaces to take appropriate measures to prevent injury, illness and other losses – and a Job Task Analysis is one way of doing this.
Lock Out
Each day, workplace incidents harm people, property, quality, production and the environment. An incident investigation is the best and most efficient way to find the cause of an incident and – in turn – control the hazard, preventing similar incidents and further harm.
Preventing Violence
Whenever workplace violence happens, an employee suffers harm. This makes preventing and dealing with incidents of physical and verbal abuse an important component of Occupational Health and Safety.
Safety and the Supervisor
Supervisors are the key to safety in the workplace.
Often, the responsibility falls on them to communicate health and safety information between management and frontline workers.
Hazard Recognition
Recognizing, evaluating and controlling hazards are the basic building blocks of any safety and health management system. Hazards can cause incidents and injury – but controlling hazards prevents incidents.
Emergency Preparedness
While most workplace harm can be avoided with proper OH&S training, some events – such as fires, floods, earthquakes, severe weather and bomb threats – are out of your control. You can’t prevent an emergency, but you can learn to predict and prepare to handle it.
