Important Notice About Select Training Locations
Proof of Vaccination at Select Training Locations
Starting Sept 22, 2021, the Government of Ontario will require all participants who attend IHSA training courses in selected locations to be fully vaccinated. Participants attending events at these locations must provide proof of vaccination upon arrival. Unvaccinated participants who have a medical exemption must provide proof of exemption. Unvaccinated participants who do not meet the medical exemption requirements will not be permitted to participate in events at these locations and will have to be rescheduled for another date.
Exceptions to these requirements are in place for those who attend events at the facilities listed in this document.
Mandatory Use of Masks at IHSA Facilities and IHSA Hosted Events
Please note that the use of face masks or face coverings will still be required from all attendees at all IHSA facilities, or at IHSA-hosted events, regardless of vaccination status.
Persons who meet the exemption requirements outlined in their local municipal by-laws (i.e., those who have underlying medical conditions) must notify IHSA at least 10 business days prior to the start date of their event to allow for reasonable accommodation to be made that will ensure the safety of other participants and IHSA staff. Those who fail to provide IHSA with 10 business days’ notice may be required to reschedule their event.
Program Description
Ontario's Driver Certification Program (DCP), under the Ministry of Transportation (MTO), allows companies to train, test, and provide their employees with a “Z” air brake license upgrade. The person who delivers the training and performs the testing must be approved by the MTO as a signing authority.
To help firms meet this requirement, IHSA offers the Air Brake Instructor training program. This course has been approved by the MTO and meets the requirement for signing authority.
Successful candidates will receive an instructor certificate that provides proof to the Ministry of Transportation – Driver Certification Program that they have signing authority as an air brake instructor.
Program Content
This four-day course is intended to provide instructor candidates with a thorough understanding of the air brake system. The program will include the use of a fully functional air brake board, practical demonstrations, instruction, and testing on a vehicle.
Those who attend will be expected to participate in hands-on instruction and to practice teaching sessions. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be able to explain as well as demonstrate the complete functions of the air brake system.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who currently has training responsibilities specific to Ontario’s A, B, C, D, and E driving licenses within their organization and are a recognized signing authority with the MTO.
