English for Workplace Safety

2015
The English for Workplace Safety materials were designed to increase the understanding of Canadian standards. There are four-modules to support English language learners in building a strong foundation in workplace safety and to bridge them into conventional safety training for their current and future jobs. Concepts include: Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Law, Personal Protective Equipment and Back Care, Workplace Hazards and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)

This course was designed as a blended learning course and has an accompanying moodle class that can be used with the materials.

Target Audience: Newcomers to Canada

Participant perspective

Thank you. You have made a difference to me personally and professionally.

Employer perspective

A lot of our employees have never taken any formal presentation training and liked the fact that they were learning tools to make them into better speakers so that they didn’t become the kind of speaker that they didn’t enjoy listening to or learning from. We definitely would recommend this course to other companies.
