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.”
Upon the successful completion of this safety training program, participants will understand: The legislative requirements (Government Regulations and CSA Standards); The duties and responsibilities of all workplace stakeholders; WHMIS exemptions; WHMIS categories;
The WHMIS 2015 GHS course offered by Expert Safety Solutions covers the updated pictograms and is designed to ensure employers and workers have up-to-date information on hazardous material used in the workplace.

This course combines elements from all three levels of the NFPA 472 HazMat response courses and is specifically designed to give the learner the ability to respond to basic HazMat spills.
There is no denying that mishandling hazardous materials can have disastrous consequences. Our safety training meets Federal and Provincial requirements to provide WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) training and certification.
