What is the need for safety training in the workplace?

Safety training in the workplace is essential for several reasons:

Compliance with regulations: Most countries have laws and regulations that require employers to provide a safe working environment for their employees. Safety training ensures that employers comply with these regulations.

Prevention of workplace accidents: Workplace accidents can result in injuries or even fatalities, which can significantly impact the employees and the organisation. Safety training helps prevent workplace accidents by teaching employees about potential hazards and how to avoid them.

Reduction in costs: Workplace accidents can be expensive, both in terms of direct costs, such as medical expenses and indirect costs, such as lost productivity. Safety training can help reduce accidents, thereby reducing costs for the organisation.

Increased productivity: Employees who feel safe at work are more likely to be productive. Safety training helps create a culture of safety in the workplace, which can improve employee morale and motivation.

Improved reputation: Organisations prioritising safety and providing safety training are considered responsible and caring. This can help improve their reputation, which can positively impact their bottom line.

Online safety courses are essential for organisations to comply with regulations, prevent workplace accidents, reduce costs, improve productivity, and enhance their reputation.

CERTIFICATION/CERTIFICATE QUESTIONS

When do your certificates expire after I have completed your training?

TDG has a recommended renewal of 3 years and all other courses have a recommended renewal of 3 years. However, if you work for a new employer after completing your training, you will need to take the training again for your new employer.

If I purchase training from you, how long will it take for me to get the certification?

After you have purchased your training, shortly after you will receive a confirmation email from support@canadasafetytraining.com with your login username and temporary password. Each course can generally take 45 minutes up to 2 hours, but it really depends on how fast you are. After successfully completing each exam from a course, you are able to print your certificate right away.

On the right side of my TDG certificate under “Training Details”, how come some boxes don’t have “X”s in them?

There are boxes intentionally not marked on the certificate because they are for onsite site specific training for when the employer arrives at their worksite. It would be up to the employer to provide the onsite/hands on training and fill in the “X”s for the remaining blank boxes and sign the certificate.

How do I receive my certificate?

You certificate is available through the bottom link on your course details page. You must make sure you have successfully passed (80% or higher) all the module exams in order for the certificate to be issued.

How do I get my certificate?

From your account, click on the course that you need your certificate. Within that course you will see a list showing you your Modules and Exams, at the very bottom you will see your “Certificate of Completion – Wallet”, and then click on it to open/save/print as a PDF. If you do not see the “Certificate of Completion – Wallet”, there is at least 1 Exam that still needs to be completed passing with 80% or higher.

I have finished all my exams but the certificate doesn’t appear for download, what do I do?

Make sure you “Submit” all questions to be marked after answering them. You will also need to achieve 80% or higher on all module exams before the certificate becomes active for download.

Do you send/mail out certificates in the mail?

Unfortunately no. Our system allows you to download the certificate as many times as you want in a PDF secure format. You can then email this to your employer/prospective employer and you can print the certificate yourself. We recommend you take the certificate to a local stationary shop to get it laminated to protect the certificate.

PRICING/PAYMENT QUESTIONS

How much does it cost to register an account?

Registering an account is absolutely free. The only cost is for the price of the course itself.

How do I pay for the courses?

You can pay online using Visa, MasterCard, or Amex.

When I’m trying to purchase the course it mentions “Ship to”, what does that mean?

Customer can ignore this field as all courses are conducted online. We do not ship out any learning materials.

Can I purchase with a VISA or Mastercard Gift Card?

You can as long as you have called the credit card company and have a physical address attached to the card. For payments to successfully go through our system you must have a 3 digit CVV number which will be on the back of your credit card and an address that is associated with your gift credit card. In most cases you can contact Visa or Mastercard and they will do that for you.

Can I purchase your training if I use someone else’ credit card?

Yes you can. However, the system will recognize the name holder on the credit card and create an account with that name, so any certificates completed will have the name from the credit card. After you have purchased your training and have received an email from Remote Site Safety with your account information, we can go into your account and change the name.

What is the difference between online H2S Awareness and in class H2S Alive?

The difference between our H2S Awareness course and the H2S Alive course is as follows: Our H2S Awareness course is all completed online and is completely theory-based that gives you a lot of knowledge and information on H2S in the workplace. This is why our course is generally a lot cheaper than the H2S Alive course. The H2S Alive course is usually a full one day 8 hour course that you must go to a site or classroom for. They have more of a practical based program that gives you a more hands on learning experience. Many workplaces offer their own practical training, in which case our awareness course would be a perfect combination, if you are getting the hands on from your employer. If they do not offer this, you will need to check with your employer to see if they would prefer that you take the more expensive one day course or our online course.
