Supervisors have the front-line responsibility to keep the workplace safe and to protect workers. This course will provide an overview and interpretation of relevant and increasing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislation, as well as practical exercises that enable participants to look for information in the legislation needed to solve an issue. Identifying the responsibilities of employers, supervisors, and workers is crucial to maintain a safe workplace, and as such, participants will learn to exercise due diligence, identify hazards, develop plans to reduce or eliminate hazards, and take effective preventive actions to foster a safety culture at their workplace.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to maintain the desired level of safety compliance through the practical and theoretical understanding of OHS basics.
