Supervisor Awareness
Training

OHSA s. 25 (c)

Details

Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) describes a supervisor as anyone who “has charge of a workplace or authority over a worker.”  OHSA Regulations also state that supervisors must receive training in their responsibilities within one week of starting their role at the workplace.

A supervisor must take all reasonable precautions to protect worker health and safety.

​Our Supervisor Awareness Course will help prepare you for success in your role. We will inform you of the regulations, processes and procedures you must understand to protect yourself, your company and your workers.

Who is a supervisor?
​The duties may vary from business to business, but overall you are considered a supervisor if you have the following responsibilities: 
​

• determining the tasks to be done
• directing how work is performed
• managing available resources such as staff, facilities, equipment, and budget
• making decisions about equipment use
• deciding the make-up of a work crew
• deciding on and scheduling hours of work
• dealing directly with workers' complaints, or directing staff and other resources to address health and safety concerns

​Who should take this course? Supervisors, lead hands and small business owners that also take the role of supervisor in the daily management of the business. This course has been designed to highlight specific hazards and procedures for supervisors in the construction and industrial sectors.​

(Hi John)...Thank you again for sharing all of your knowledge with us last week. Everyone learned so much and you made it very interesting with all of your real-life examples and prompting discussions. The team is really happy they got to be a part of the Supervisor Awareness Training.
