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
Workers are often promoted to a supervisory position because of their high-quality work and experience. This program gives federally regulated workers the training they need to become effective supervisors.
Participants will learn how to fulfil their role as a supervisor and about their responsibilities under the Canada Labour Code, Part II to manage health and safety in the workplace. Once they understand what to do, the program gives them the tools to meet their health and safety responsibilities and ensure a productive workplace.
Program Content
1. Legal Responsibilities
Participants will learn how to:
-
Locate and cite sections in the Canada Labour Code, Part II
-
Identify the duties of the main workplace parties in the Canada Labour Code, Part II.
2. Elements of Supervising
Participants will learn how to integrate health and safety into the supervisor’s daily activities of planning, organizing, directing, and controlling work.
3. Supervisor Safety Tasks
Participants will learn how to perform the duties of a supervisor by:
-
Communicating hazard information through safety talks and worker orientations
-
Monitoring health and safety activities through formal workplace inspections
-
Investigating incidents and determine the immediate and underlying causes
-
Enforcing health and safety rules
-
Documenting workplace activities in a log book.
Learning Evaluation
There is a final test at the end of this program.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Who Should Attend?
Supervisors—especially those who have never received any training in supervisory skills or in their health and safety responsibilities under federal law. Participants who are provincially regulated under the Occupational Health and Safety Act should take the Basics of Supervising program for provincially regulated workplaces.
Important Notice
The Basics of Supervising Training Program will help prepare supervisors to perform their health and safety duties competently. However, after completing the training, the employer is responsible for validating a supervisor’s health and safety competency. Additional training in workplace-specific hazards and the regulations that apply to those hazards may be required.
