Safety Passport
 This Safety Passport is
another tool created to help you in the creation and promotion of
a safe workplace - NOT to mention the benefits of meeting your legislated
duties and responsibilities.
As per the Workplace
Safety and Health Act, you are required to do everything that is
reasonably practicable to ensure your employees are capable of doing
the tasks you assign them. You are expected to provide information,
instruction, training or close supervision to ensure their safety
and health. You are also expected to evaluate the people you hire
(contractors and sub-contractors) to ensure they will abide by the
Workplace Safety & Health Act. And of course, you are required
to prove that you have done it.
Your CSAM's Safety Passport, will provide you with a quick reference to verify the safety
training and education of people coming onto your site. And on the
flip-side, workers can provide prospective employers with a record
of their safety training and education.
Each individual worker
will be issued their own personal user passport, complete with digital
photo and verification of safety training and education received
- all maintained and verified by the CSAM. Each safety passport
will include safety training and education conducted by your Construction
Safety Association of Manitoba; Manitoba Construction Conference;
Workplace Safety & Health Division and the Manitoba Safety Council.
Industry courses and
certification offered through the Manitoba Building Construction
Trades Council, Construction Labour Relations Association of Manitoba,
or others that can be verified by the CSAM, may also be included
in the Safety Passport.
For more information on the Safety Passport, please contact
either the CSAM Winnipeg Office at (204) 775-3171 or the CSAM Brandon
Office at (204) 728-3456.
