Fake health and safety training records are a serious concern in Ontario workplaces. To help address this issue, WHSC is the first and only health and safety association in Ontario to develop and implement a secure digital Record of Training (ROT) system. Our system makes it easier to access, verify, and share official training records while reducing administrative time and helping protect workplace health and safety. Records include courses approved by Ontario’s Chief Prevention Officer and courses to meet many general and specific training requirements in provincial and/or federal health and safety law.

Benefits to workers and employers

• Centralized access to training records
  All WHSC training credentials are stored in one secure, easy-to-access online location, so no more managing multiple paper certificates or plastic cards.
• Easy to carry, wherever work takes you
  The new digital ROT system is ideal for workers who change jobs or worksites, as access to training records are always available anytime, anywhere.
• Clear training status and alerts
  Instantly see which records are valid, expired, or nearing expiry. This also helps prevent  lapses in required training.
• Quick updates after course completion
  Records are updated promptly once training is finished and student forms received, thus ensuring accurate and up-to-date records for all learners.
• Official and government-recognized
  These digital records are issued by WHSC, Ontario’s only official, government-designated health and safety training centre and all are accepted by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD).
• Secure, verified documentation
  Digital records reduce risk of counterfeit cards and are trusted by workers, employers, and Ministry inspectors.
• Reduced administrative burden
  WHSC digital ROTs simplify tracking and documenting compliance and helps streamline health and safety recordkeeping.

Accessing the digital ROT

As you complete training with us, you’ll receive your own unique ROT card in the mail. Digital WHSC ROTs can now be viewed securely online through your dedicated QR code or through our ROT portal page. Use the credentials supplied with your card to access the portal.

Existing participants already in our system will receive a new card once they register for a new course. Until then your existing certificates and cards are still valid with us. However, if you’ve already taken a course in the past and would like a digital ROT you can contact us to request a new card, giving you access to your training records electronically.
