FAQs and Notes

This course helps you understand your legal responsibilities under Ontario health and safety laws. This course teaches practical ways to reduce liability and improve safety on projects. Participants will learn how the Sudbury case reshaped legal responsibility on construction projects by clarifying that contractors and project leaders can be held criminally liable for safety failures, even when subcontractors are involved. They will also understand how courts assess “control” and due diligence, and why active safety oversight and coordination across all employers on a project is essential to managing liability.

This course was first developed in 1996. The curriculum was based on lessons from construction safety case law, legislative requirements, our own industry surveys, and emerging consensus with respect to industry best practices. The course has been continually updated and improved over the past 16 years. In that timeframe, CPSM has been delivered to hundreds of organizations and more than 7000 people. The methods taught in CPSM have been adopted by dozens of major Canadian employers and owner organizations that have taken the course, and are reflected in the project safety management policies and approaches of major governmental procurement and project management agencies, such as Public Works and Government Services Canada and Canada Lands Company CLC Limited; brand-name retailers such as Canadian Tire Real Estate Limited; major health care institutions in Ontario; some of Canada’s largest electrical utilities; and Canada’s largest municipal government agencies.
