With assistance from labour-management health and safety committees, certain trade groups working with IHSA staff have developed training specifi cally tailored to their trade. These multi-level programs are generally taken one level per year. The first two levels can be done through IHSA, while the third level is usually completed on site or at a hands-on training facility.
The Basic and Intermediate components of this program form the first two levels of trade-specific safety training.
This first level of trade-specific multi-level training provides a foundation. See above for a complete description of the Construction Health and Safety—Basic course.
This second level of trade-specific multi-level training builds upon the basic level and prepares participants to complete the third level in their specific trade. The following are some examples of modules for specific sectors.
