Recognizing, evaluating and controlling hazards are the basic building blocks of any
safety and health management system. Hazards can cause incidents and injury – but controlling hazards prevents incidents. This course introduces the concepts of hazard and risk and teaches how to identify and evaluate hazards by assessing the risks and controlling the hazards.

Alberta Safety Council
Since our humble beginnings over 65 years ago, the ASC’s primary focus has been to help all Albertans develop an attitude of safety that will last them a lifetime.
Although established as an organization primarily dedicated to farm and rural safety, the ASC grew to encompass transportation and children’s safety by the 1960’s and WHS by the 1970’s.
As a non-government, not-for-profit organization dedicated to changing the face of safety for all Albertans, we are the only “cradle to grave” organization offering safety training and educational programs for Albertans ages 3 – 93. We work diligently to develop an attitude of safety with both children and adults through our quality education and prevention programs.
By taking a proactive approach to our training and program development, we help companies protect their most valuable assets – their employees. Although our program offerings have evolved and expanded over the years, the one thing that has not changed is our commitment to “Making Alberta a Safer Place to Live, Work and Play.”
Our Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) 2015 training program covers the new WHMIS 2015 legislation, which Canada has brought in to align its WHMIS training with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
WHMIS Supervisor course is offered by Construction Safety Nova Scotia. Our instructors have industry experience and use practical and interactive learning techniques to ensure you get the training you need.
Intended for workers, supervisors and other workplace parties, this program offers an overview of the new GHS WHMIS.
Workers in different fields require workplace specific instruction in addition to general training. Our WHMIS course has been developed to provide information that exceeds provincial regulations including topics such as 'Exempt Products"  and "Consumer Product Symbols".
Arctic Response provides one of the few classroom based WHMIS 2015 programs available. This training method greatly improves student comprehension, especially for workers who learn better with people than through computers.
