Workers Health & Safety Centre

WORKPLACE TRAINING PROGRAMS


We know our training works. More important, so do others. As Ontario’s government-designated occupational health and safety training centre we have trained hundreds of thousands of workers, supervisors, joint health and safety committees, worker health and safety representatives, and other workplace parties over the past three decades. With more than 200 ready to deliver training programs we are well positioned to help your workplace comply with the many training requirements mandated by health and safety law. Much of the training we offer can also be used for general workforce training and as part of your overall workplace health and safety program. Many WHSC programs are scheduled to run at various times throughout the year in virtual classrooms. Some are also scheduled in in-person classrooms in a community near you. Or we can work with you to organize the delivery of one or more training programs on your schedule and/or in your workplace or training venue.

Listed below are titles of workplace training essentials. For more information, program descriptions and schedules visit our website, www.whsc.on.ca or call our toll-free line from anywhere in Ontario, 1-888-869-7950, and ask to speak to a training services representative.
