OSSA Elevated Work Platform (EWP)

Oil Sands Safety Association = OSSA (correctly pronounced Oh-SA, not Oh-SHA), is a “non-profit organization made up of representatives from Syncrude Canada, Suncor Energy, Shell Albian Sands and Canadian Natural Resources, as well as volunteer members from the labor providers, union, area contractors and learning providers” .

If you are working on an Oil Sands member site, you will need the Oil Sands Safety Association version of Elevated Work Platform (if working on man-lifts). More generally, OSSA courses have a good reputation, and are universally observed elsewhere in Alberta and usually in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Territories as well.
