Our role in Ontario’s health and system is unique. So is our approach. WHSC’s hazard-based training gives workplace representatives the knowledge and skills to proactively identify, assess and control, if not, eliminate hazardous working conditions.
WHSC offers
- hundreds of existing hazard-specific and industry-specific training products
- legally mandated Certification training for joint health and safety committees (JHSC)
- training programs for legally required worker training such as WHMIS, fall protection, confined spaces, workplace violence and powered lift trucks
- training programs on common issues such as stress, ergonomics and indoor air quality
- customized training on a fee-for-service basis.
Effective Training
Independent research, our clients and program participants validate our training delivery model. WHSC instructors are well trained in adult education principles and training delivery methods. Their workplace experience makes for a relevant, engaging learning environment.
WHSC training programs include
- participant work sheets
- case studies
