Who Should Take It
Under the current Occupational Health and Safety Code of Alberta, employers are required to ensure that there is a system in place that identifies both real and/ or potential hazards that are present in our work environments. This system requires active and meaningful participation of employees when practicable to do so.
This course is designed to support those who are in the position of:
• Management;
• Supervisors;
• Lead Hands
• Workers (office included)
• Health and Safety Committee Members.
