This module introduces key Canadian workplace safety concepts. It explains how the Internal Responsibility System (IRS) works, outlines the three basic rights of workers (to know, participate, and refuse unsafe work), and describes the duties of employers, supervisors, and workers, including due diligence. While similar to the U.S. version (CUSAT), this content is specific to Canadian laws. By the end, you'll understand how everyone in the workplace plays a role in safety.

This module builds on what you learned in Module 1 by focusing on how to identify workplace hazards and assess risks before accidents happen. You’ll learn how to spot different types of hazards (physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and environmental), perform a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), use a risk matrix to rank risks, and apply the hierarchy of controls. You'll also see how the Internal Responsibility System (IRS) works in real situations, showing how safety is a shared responsibility.

This module teaches practical fall prevention essentials. You’ll learn when guardrails or floor opening covers are legally required, including key height standards across provinces like BC and Ontario. It also covers safe ladder use, including the 4:1 setup rule and the three-point contact technique. Finally, you’ll be introduced to the basics of personal fall-arrest systems, the CSA Z259 standards, and how to properly use and inspect harnesses, lanyards, and anchor points.

This module introduces WHMIS 2015, Canada’s national system for classifying and communicating workplace hazardous materials. You’ll learn how to read labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), recognize hazard symbols, and understand your responsibilities under the law. Clear communication is key to preventing chemical-related incidents and protecting everyone on the job.

In this module, you'll learn when employers must provide and pay for PPE, how to conduct and document hazard assessments, and how to apply key CSA standards for eye, face, foot, and visibility protection. These skills ensure CCSAT professionals can manage PPE needs confidently and compliantly across Canadian workplaces.

This module covers when and why respirators are needed, emphasizing their role as a last resort in hazard control. You’ll learn about key Canadian regulations, CSA Z94.4-18 standards, and how to implement a full Respiratory Protection Program. Topics include fit testing, proper respirator selection using APFs, cartridge change-out schedules, and essential care practices to ensure worker safety.

This module explains how to safely control hazardous energy using Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and proper machine guarding. You’ll learn the six-step energy isolation process, group lockout methods, types of machine guards, and when exceptions apply. Real case studies and Canadian standards like CSA Z460-20 help reinforce the importance of these core safety practices for all CCSAT professionals.

In this module, you'll learn the certification requirements for forklift operators, including mandatory evaluations every three years. It also covers the forklift stability triangle, safe practices around mobile equipment, battery charging area precautions, and how to inspect pallet racking to prevent structural failures.

This module explains what legally defines a confined space in Canada and why these areas pose serious risks. You'll learn when entry permits are required, how to test for safe air conditions, and the roles of each team member during entry. By the end, you'll be able to plan and manage confined space work safely and in full legal compliance.

This module explores how heat, cold, noise, and air quality affect worker safety. You’ll learn to prevent heat illness with the “Water–Rest–Shade” method, work safely in extreme cold and smoky conditions, and understand when noise levels require hearing protection programs. Real Canadian examples and regulations highlight how to manage these common workplace stressors.

This module teaches how to recognize and address psychosocial hazards like bullying or excessive workload. You'll explore the CSA Z1003 standard, legal duties in Ontario and Québec, and how to build violence and harassment prevention programs. Real case examples and Canadian resources will help you support mental well-being in any workplace.
