Need Pipeline Construction Safety Training?

By

Did you know that we offer courses online? Training can take place outside of the classroom and at your own pace! Best of all, some of our online courses offer HPO and Gold Seal credits!

One of our most popular online courses is the Pipeline Construction Safety Training course, especially with the recent approval of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Here’s the course outline:

This course has been designed and developed by the construction industry to address health and safety issues specific to pipeline construction in the oil and gas industry.

Construction safety is not to be taken lightly, and it is something that the pipeline construction industry takes very seriously. This course is intended to familiarize you, the worker, with how to recognize, assess and control hazards on the work site. It has been designed to complement other safety-related courses offered by the industry.

After completing this course, you will:

• Know how to recognize hazards

• Know how to assess hazards

• Know how to control hazards

• Know how to operate a vehicle safely

• Know how to operate equipment safely

• Know how to respond to emergencies

You can register for the course at any time and complete it at your own pace. Register now or check out our full course calendar.

Recognizing the National Day of Mourning

By

DayOfMourning

On April 28, Canada will recognize the National Day of Mourning, which honours the memory of workers who have been killed, injured or become ill as a result of work-related accidents. Established in 1984 by the Canadian Labour Congress and officially named as a national day in 1991, the day is marked by ceremonies across B.C., flags flown at half mast, and the observation of moments of silence throughout the day.

Last year in B.C., 122 people were killed on the job, and workplace injury or illness resulted in almost 2.6 million lost days of work. This year, speakers at the various events will include family members of those who have passed away, and workers injured on the job. For more information about the Day of Mourning and a list of ceremonies, visit www.dayofmourning.bc.ca.
