HAMILTON, ON (December 12, 2008) –The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) has developed an e-course for federally regulated organizations. This course explains how to implement and maintain a hazard prevention program in compliance with the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and the Canadian Labour Code Part II.
The Federal Hazard Prevention Program gives participants a step-by-step explanation of the federal hazard prevention program. The course covers how to implement a plan, identify and assess hazards, develop preventative measures, complete program evaluations and reviews and much more.
This course is geared towards managers, supervisors, and human resources and health and safety professionals working in federally regulated organizations.
All e-courses by CCOHS are available in English and French. They are developed by experts in the field and reviewed by labour, employer and government representatives. As with all CCOHS e-courses, participants can contact CCOHS subject specialists to ask specific questions that may arise. There are quizzes throughout and a certificate of completion is issued upon passing the exam. Case studies, quizzes, and an "ask a question" option are also featured.
More information about the courses, pricing and how to register is available on the CCOHS website: http://www.ccohs.ca/products/courses/fed_haz_prevent/.
