About the course
What this course covers.
Spills happen, no matter how careful a workplace is - a small nuisance spill or an accidental release. Either one can have serious consequences if it is handled wrong. A sound spill response plan and an organised spill kit are what turn a spill into a cleanup rather than an incident. This course walks a worker through that process.
The course is presented in six chapters. It covers the types of spills and how they occur, the roles and responsibilities in a spill response, and the associated and direct hazards a spill creates. It works through spill response procedures - what to do when a spill occurs and how to clean up different kinds of spill - then building and restocking spill kits, and the workplace training that keeps a response plan ready.
Companies use the course to train workers who may need to respond to a spill and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

Trusted by Canadian crews
The six-chapter structure works. Workers finish knowing the difference between a nuisance spill and a release, and what their role is in each.

The spill kit chapter is the practical one - building and restocking it. We used it to fix gaps in our actual kits.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
A mark of 80 percent earns the certificate, and the course can be repeated twice if the pass mark is not met on the first attempt. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 60 minutes of content across six chapters
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Instant access as soon as the course is purchased
- Suitable for any worker who may respond to a spill
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts
Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety and environmental legislation require workplaces to be prepared to contain and clean up spills, and workers who may respond must be trained. This course provides that training and the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.
