Their training techniques are aligned with the latest Occupational Health and Safety standards. They provide specialized courses, including the Working at Heights Training Certification, Fire Safety in the Workplace safety course, and Lockout Tagout (LOTO) safety course.
The Working at Heights Training Certification, approved by Ontario’s Chief Prevention Officer, showcases Safety First Training’s commitment to reducing workplace accidents. Led by certified trainers, this course is key to the company’s offerings, emphasizing practical awareness and the proper use of fall protection gear. Since falls from heights are a major source of workplace injuries, this training is not only a legal requirement but also vital for maintaining safety standards at work.
Alongside this, Safety First Training provides a Fire Safety in the Workplace safety course. This course educates employees on the Ontario Fire Code, the correct usage of fire extinguishers, and how to carry out emergency evacuation plans. Understanding these aspects is crucial for reducing fire-related hazards in any work setting.
Another crucial course offered is the Lockout Tagout (LOTO) safety course. This training covers the necessary steps for controlling hazardous energy, helps reduce risks during machinery maintenance, and ensures compliance with safety laws. Mastering the LOTO procedures is key to preventing accidents caused by the accidental start-up of machines.
