THIS IS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL
Construction Sites Put on Notice

MARCH 26, 2020 Provincial Update : Premier Ford’s Address Summary 
Premier Ford made a statement at the beginning of his news conference which directly addressed the construction sector,
​please see that transcription below:

“When it comes to necessities of life, shelter is at the top of the list, and we cannot take lightly a decision, which could put shelter for thousands of people at risk. Yesterday, I put the construction industry on notice. Our chief provincial officer has sent out new guidelines for construction sites, and there are currently dozens of provincial labour inspectors at numerous jobsites to ensure appropriate protocols are in place. These inspectors will not hesitate to shut sites down. Let me be clear, if the industry does not take every step necessary to look after their workers, I will shut them down, because this is the first and foremost a public health emergency. The public health comes above all else, Shutting down non-essential workplaces, was a necessary decision and we will not hesitate to shut down further workplaces as needed. We need to do everything possible to slow the spread of COVID-19. As a society we are being asked to make tremendous individual sacrifices. To get through this we must all make sacrifices, we must put our collective wellbeing above all else, and today we are recognizing the sacrifices that people and businesses are making during these difficult days.”

Instructors John and Chris both provided great training. Both of them have a great sense of humor.
They presented the program in a way that was easy to understand the theory-practical for the certifications. I received certifications for working at heights, confined spaces entry, mobile elevated work platforms, and forklift+telehandler in Kingston. ..I wanted these certifications to show my interest and build up my resume to get a career in the trades. I tended to have more unrelated experience...now more employers have been getting back to me and I now have a career in telecommunications industry! Thanks for the assist Safety Guys!

We loved having Chris Blackburn at Prince Edward Learning Centre. I run a youth employment program and Chris was wonderful with all the participants. They appreciated his real life stories. His training style was easy to follow and the participants came away with valuable information. Very engaging training!

I wanted to thank you (Chris) for the Working at Heights training seminar you conducted for my company. 
Your knowledge and delivery of the information was truly outstanding !!  
We have held many training seminars prior to yours. I must say yours was by far the smoothest, informative and compelling yet.  
Not an easy accomplishment when it is such an in depth and time consuming course . Kudos to yourself and your company in that regard .
