Legislation 101

If you are a worker, supervisor, contractor, employer, owner or supplier, you need to know the bottom line. With the current emphasis on the construction industry, now is the time to prepare yourself: ”In the eyes of the law, not knowing is not an excuse!” A current copy of the WSH Act and new Regulation will be detailed with practical solutions to implementation will be discussed. This is a must-attend session.

Lockout / Tagout
Course Length: One half-day of training (4 hours) A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the course. If machinery could unexpectedly activate or if the unexpected release of an energy source could cause injury, the energy source must be isolated and controlled. This is done through a lockout/tagout procedure. Upon the successful completion of the program, students will be qualified to develop a company-approved lockout/tagout procedure. Lockout/tagout is one of three safe work procedures that Workplace Safety Legislation requires an employer to develop. Lockout/tagout systems are not only used when dealing with electricity, but also for hydraulic, pneumatic, steam and other systems. Employee training in your company’s lockout/tagout system is essential.

Prime Contractor Responsibilities
Course Length: One half-day of training (4 hours) A certificate will be issued upon successful completion of the course. ***We recommend that you bring a current copy of the WSH Act & Regulation to highlight and reference information.

The Prime Contractor is granted overall responsibility to ensure compliance with WSH regulations at the work site. Work site activities need to be coordinated so that the work of one employer does not create unsafe conditions for the workers of another employer on the site. CSAM’s Prime Contractor course will focus on providing companies with effective guidelines to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities. This course will examine a Prime Contractor’s legislated requirements and focus on developing practical methods to meet these requirements.
