About the NLCSA

The NLCSA is an industry-driven, not-for-profit corporation committed to providing cost-effective, affordable, and accessible safety training and advisory services to the construction industry in the province.

First announced in November 1996, the creation of the NLCSA was a major initiative of the federally-sponsored Industrial Adjustment Service (IAS) Committee and its predecessor, the Construction Industry Forum (CIF).

Specifically, the IAS program was a Canada-wide process used in both the public and private sectors to assist communities, industry sectors, and private companies in facing challenges brought about by technological changes, staffing reductions, lack of profitability, and other economic and human resource circumstances.

Through these forums, each of the major industry, labour, and professional groups within the construction sector came together to discuss ways to address such problems that plague the industry.
