The Occupational Health and Safety Act requires that every employee must be trained in workplace specific hazards known as WHMIS Training.
Duration: 4 hours, 1 year
Each participant is trained in all aspects of health and safety basics and their rights and duties under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

This course is current and up to date and many participants have commented that they learned more from this particular WHMIS training than from other WHMIS training courses they have attended previously.
The safe operation of portable fire extinguishers is your first line of defense in protecting your people and property in the event of a fire. The objective of our Fire Awareness Training is to inform, demonstrate and provide confidence to employees in the safe and effective use of fire extinguishers in the workplace. Fires start small and may be extinguished by well-trained, knowledgeable employees using the proper equipment.
