Despite the pandemic, construction activity across the province continues almost unabated. To keep pace, we are expanding Working at Heights training to include weekend dates.

These new scheduled offerings start in January with a select number. We expect these spaces to fill quickly. While registration for each class remains open until the day prior to delivery we encourage you to register and secure your seat today. We will schedule more as demand requires.

Construction and training — essential

Throughout the pandemic many construction projects and the workers who make them possible have been deemed essential. Occupational health and safety training and the Workers Health & Safety Centre have been similarly designated. Amid the ongoing COVID crisis, construction sector employers must still ensure all workers in their employ successfully complete WAH training before working at heights and using a fall protection system. This training must be approved by the Chief Prevention Officer (CPO) and delivered by an approved provider.
 
Approved WAH training is valid for three years from the date of successful completion. For continued compliance, employers must ensure workers complete an approved WAH refresher training prior to this three year expiry date and every three years thereafter.

Employers are further required by regulation to maintain confirmation of training records for their workers and must share those with a Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development inspector upon request. WHSC assists with this obligation too. Participants will immediately receive a record of training upon successful completion of WHSC WAH training or WAH Refresher training. Replacement documentation is also available when needed.
