Given that Canada has 13 sets of OHS legislation that specific different regulatory requirements how have you managed to align the training programs to meet regulatory requirements?
Hi, Terrence,
Good question. Sorry it took me a while to answer, I was trying to get some information for you.
In many cases, the courses are based on Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standards. For example, the two courses related to electrical issues are based on CSA Z462.
In other cases, such as hearing protection, an effort was made to “generalize” the message to match as many different regulatory jurisdictions as possible while also referring the learner to their appropriate regulatory body. Here’s one example from one course: “The criterion level is the steady noise level permitted for a full eight-hour work shift. This is 85 dB(A) in most jurisdictions, but it is 90 dB(A) in Quebec and 87 dB(A) for organizations that follow the Canadian federal noise regulations…he regulations should also be consulted for information on requirements for hearing protective equipment and other control measures that may be prescribed for protecting the workers’ hearing. Please contact your local office of the occupational health and safety agency for your jurisdiction if you have specific questions that apply to your workplace.”
In addition, statistics are for Canada (not US) and units of measurement have been changed to metric.
Hope that helps. You can find additional information in the description of each of these courses–for example, those based on a CSA standard mention that in the description.
