Effective Job Hazard and Risk Analysis Training Course (Provincial)

Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) is a workplace assessment method used to identify job specific hazards, assess their risk, and consider mechanisms to either eliminate, mitigate, and or control the hazards. Sections 25 and 27 of the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) clearly states that “employers” and “supervisors” have the legal responsibility to advise the worker of the existence of any potential or actual danger to the health and safety of the worker of which they are aware. That includes any workforce provided by a temporary help agency or any other individual that performs work at the workplace. This legal requirement also applies to companies and individuals that are classified as “constructors” on the job site, and thus coordinate multiple workers that are directly employed by other organizations used to identify and control unacceptable risks relating to the performance of job tasks.

To help accomplish this, the TDG Act and Regulations were created. Proper adherence to this act and its associated regulations ensures the safety of drivers, the public, and the environment while transporting dangerous goods within Canada. This course has been designed to educate learners on the Canadian TDG Act and its associated regulations in order to help them transport dangerous goods safely and properly. Throughout this course, participants will learn about their roles and responsibilities under this Act, relevant parts of the legislation, and the various aspects and requirements of safe and responsible dangerous good transportation, including but not limited to proper handling, packaging, labelling, placarding, documentation, and incident reporting procedures.

WHMIS 2025

In Canada, suppliers, employers, and workers use the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) to communicate and identify the risks associated with products used in the workplace. WHMIS aligns with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) used by many countries around the world. In December 2022, amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) meant changes to the previously used WHMIS 2015. Health Canada outlined a 3-year transition period to give those who use WHMIS time to make the necessary changes. As of December 2025, anyone who uses WHMIS must follow the amended HPR. This WHMIS course aims to give you a basic understanding of the system, including general principles, worker safety, and significant updates. This course covers the following five chapters: Chapter 1: What is WHMIS? Chapter 2: Hazard Identification and Product Classification Chapter 3: Labels Chapter 4: Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Chapter 5: Workplace Education and Training This course includes activities, self-assessment questions, and a final exam.

Duration: Approximately 1 hour
