Make Sure You’re Ready for Audits by Having Your Employees Properly Trained.
The LBMAO offers an online health & safety training program that is user-friendly and self-paced, featuring courses required by the Ontario Health & Safety Act:
* Under Bill 160 of the Occupational Health & Safety Act, all employees must take mandatory health & safety orientation training effective August 1, 2013 in addition to existing mandatory health & safety compliance training.
** The Ontario Ministry of Labour (MOL) has initiated new regulations for workers working at heights. Up to now you have had to provide fall restraint training. The LBMAO course meets this requirement. We communicated our concerns regarding these new changes to the committee developing the new regulations back in the spring of 2014. A copy of the letter is available here. We are reviewing our program to ensure it meets the MOL requirements for industrial establishments and will keep you updated.
This regulation requires the employer to maintain a record of the basic occupational health & safety awareness training for workers and supervisors who work for that employer. The employer must also keep a record of workers and supervisors exempt from the training.
This guidance tool is one way that an employer can record the basic occupational health and safety awareness training for their workers and supervisors. This guidance tool is a sample and is not required to be used under the Occupational Health and Safety Awareness and Training Regulation (O. Reg. 297/13).
