Health and Safety Awareness Training
The focus of this training is on general awareness of rights and responsibilities of workers in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). It does not, in any way, replace the OHSA or its regulations or any other knowledge, information or training you will require as a supervisor or worker.
This training includes topics Ontario employees are required to know about regarding basic occupational health and safety. This course explains your rights, responsibilities and what is required from you as a worker on the job in Ontario. Prevention - preventing injuries and illnesses at work - starts here, but it doesn't end here.
