Supervisors are often hired or promoted not knowing their legislated roles and responsibilities and not having the tool sets to perform necessary risk assessments in order to adequately protect their workers.
Supervisors are often hired or promoted not knowing their legislated roles and responsibilities and not having the tool sets to perform necessary risk assessments in order to adequately protect their workers. Although the OH&S Act and Regulations outline specific duties that a supervisor must perform,
there is no mention to mandatory training programs that a supervisor must complete. Therefore, WorkplaceNL has developed this training program to help provide supervisors with the information that they need to fulfill their legislated responsibilities.
Topics of discussion include the following:
Health and safety legislation
Occupational health and safety programs
Hazard recognition, evaluation and control
Occupational health and hygiene
Workplace inspections
Emergency preparedness and response
Incident investigations
Disability management
OHS Program Evaluation

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.
The course focuses on self-propelled elevated work platforms (scissor lifts) and self-propelled boom supported elevated work platforms (boom lifts).
Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to understand the regulations that address fall protection, identify risks, and fall hazards, and describe safe work procedures to prevent falls on site. Valid for 3 years.
Working At Heights Training course is offered Davis Trainincentre. Davis Training is pleased to offer Master Safety’s Working at Heights Training Programs – CPO approved (WAH-35084).
This full-day program is designed for workers in the Ontario construction industry and covers all of the required training under Ontario Regulation 213/91 (Construction Projects).
The goal of this course is to enable learners to identify the basic types of aerial and scissor lifts and the hazards associated with their use, as well as their inspection criteria, and safe work practices associated with aerial lift operation.
