Under Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act and regulations, certain functions may only be performed by a "Competent Person". All "Supervisors" must be "Competent Persons". Aspects of work such as confined space entry, operation of lifting devices, use of mobile equipment, work around live electrical equipment, and traffic control must also be performd only by "Competent Persons" or "Competent Workers". Ensuring the appointment of "Competent Persons" is recognized as an important element in demonstrating due diligence. Starting from the premise that the learner has a basic understanding of the operational aspects of his/her work, this course provides learners with skills and knowledge to meet the two key "competency criteria" set out by the Act and regulations, namely: (1) familiarity with the legislation that applies to the work; and (2) knowledge of actual and potential dangers of the work.

This course has been awarded:
