Transportation of Dangerous Goods (Canada)

Workers are exposed to hazardous chemical products every day. This poses serious problems for exposed workers and their employers. Hazard Communication (HazCom) training is designed to provide workers with the information that they need to recognize and avoid hazardous chemicals. Take this course to learn about the HazCom Standard and how Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and chemical labels are used to prepare for hazards or react to exposures. Ideal learners are employees who work with or around hazardous chemicals and their supervisors.

You do not want to be near a rocket or fragmentation bomb when it goes off. Well, that is what a compressed gas cylinder may become if used improperly. The course will teach you about the hazards of these highly pressurized containers, how they must be labeled, and how they must be stored, handled and transported to prevent leaks, burns and explosions. Ideal learners include employees who work with or around compressed gas cylinders.

Recognizing electrical hazards in the workplace is critical to ensuring worker safety. You need to know how and why electricity is dangerous so you can recognize when hazards are present. When electricity and other energy is uncontrolled, it can harm or even kill people. That is why we have lockout/tagout/tryout procedures to control hazardous energy. Take this course to learn about electrical hazards, what energy control procedures are and how they can be used to stay safe. Your employer may ask you to complete this training because you work where electrical hazards are present or where lockout/tagout/tryout is being used, or as part of their process for obtaining lockout/tagout authorization. This course is ideal for workers in general industry and construction work settings.

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) makes hazardous material information uniformly available to all Canadian workers. Given the amount of information and number of parties involved, this can be a complex undertaking. This course explains how WHMIS works, how the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (GHS) is aligned with WHMIS, who is responsible for various tasks under WHMIS, and how everyone can take full advantage of the hazardous material information available to them. This course covers the most recent WHMIS regulations. Ideal learners are all employees.
