About the course

What this course covers.

In Canadian industry, supervisors can be and are prosecuted under occupational health and safety law. A supervisor who does not understand their legal duties is exposed, and so is the employer who never explained them. This course closes that gap, using animation and a touch of humour to make safety law clear instead of confusing.

The course is set in a fictional workplace where some parts of the company have a strong safety culture and others have room to improve. Through that setting it works through the three types of occupational health and safety law and how they affect supervisors, the meaning of reasonable care, and how due diligence applies to a supervisor's role. It covers why progressive discipline matters, the importance of documentation and journaling in a due diligence case, and why training, monitoring, incident investigation, maintenance, and workers' rights all form part of acting duly diligent.

Employers use the course to satisfy their legal obligation to inform supervisors of occupational health and safety law, and to give a documented training record.
