Safety Training and Development

Our training courses are developed to meet the needs of adult learners. We deliver to get the message across and keep the participants engaged and entertained. We’ll deliver our sessions on-site at your facility or any facility of your choosing.

We provide training in:

Your Safety Culture - The other half of the Health & Safety Puzzle

1/2 day - $150.00/person

It is the culture of the organization that determines whether or not a program will succeed or fail. It’s the culture that makes the difference between safety mediocrity and safety excellence. The emphasis of this course is on the factors that help shape the corporate culture into one that is strong, positive and receptive to employee safety programs. You will learn how the culture of the organization influences employee behaviour. You will be introduced to culture improvement strategies. The information in this course is leading edge and truly different from anything you’ve heard before.

Safety Program Basics

2 day - $300.00

The purpose of this course is to provide lead hands, foremen, supervisors, safety committee members, etc with health and safety basics.

The following is an overview of the course contents.

This course can be delivered in modular form.

Essential Principles to Achieving Safety Excellence

1 day - $425.00

This is a one day course for managers and supervisors looking for more than just the basics. It’s ideal as a primer for middle and senior management and an extension of safety basics for supervisors. Dennis will explore with you some of the key factors leading to safety success and failure. Some of the topics include, safety culture, pros and cons of behaviour based safety programs, accountability, effective recognition programs, lag and leading indicators of techniques to improve investigations and inspections and much more. Participants will learn what it really takes to achieve safety excellence.

OH&S Legislation

1/2 day - $90.00

Participants will learn about key pieces of the Occupational Health & Safety Act, Regulations and Code. The course is designed to help employers understand their legistated obligation.

WHMIS

1/2 day - $90.00

WARNING: this is not your normal everyday WHMIS workshop. Janie will keep you awake through the WHMIS theory. You will compete for prizes as she tests your WHMIS knowledge. You can sign up for the generic WHMIS course or Compass can obtain information on your specific chemicals hazards and tailor the course to your needs. This is WHMIS like you’ve never done WHMIS before - it’s interesting, it’s interactive and it’s fun.

Fire Safety Training

Learn the basics of fire safety and learn how to use a fire extinguisher. This is an onsite course in which the theory is conducted in the classroom and the practical outside. Each participant will be given the opportunity to extinguish a pan fire. We believe the time to learn to use an extinguisher is before the fire starts.

Defensive Driving

The Defensive Driving Course is a nationally recognized program, developed by the Canada Safety Council. Employees who drive company vehicles or drive on company business will benefit from a Defensive Driving Course every two to three years.
