Mandatory Employee Training

An employee must complete training within the first 4 weeks of hire or when any of the following occur:

• demonstrated lack of understanding or knowledge of module content
• conditions in the workplace change

• new or updated legislation is introduced
• new information becomes available

 

Any newly hired supervisor must complete this training within the first four weeks of hire. Or, if an internal employee is permanently or temporarily hired into a supervisory role, they must complete the supervisor module even if the worker module has been completed.

• All employees must have an ontariotechu.ca or ontariotech.net before starting the training.
• Once your employment has started, it may take approximately 1 week for the LMS team to set up a new employee profile in Canvas.
• While waiting for your Canvas profile to be set up, complete WHMIS, Health and Safety Awareness, Workplace Violence and Harassment Prevention, and when applicable, Compressed Gas: Safe Storage and Handling training.

All employees regardless of their role and responsibilities, have access to the training links included in the matrix below and are encouraged to complete any additional modules deemed to be of interest.
