About this course
Most workplace safety trouble has the same root: nobody can show what was done before things went wrong. This course is for supervisors, lead hands and managers who want to know what Alberta's OHS Act expects of them, what an officer or a court looks for, and how to build the everyday habits and records that show reasonable care.
It is training, not legal advice, and it doesn't replace your employer's health and safety program.

Online courses are one part of operator training. They don't replace site-specific training, a hands-on practical evaluation or your employer's authorization, and a certificate of completion isn't a licence or proof of competency. See our training disclaimer.
