Spotlight on: Incident Investigations

August 2, 2017 By Kerry Vital

Do you understand the principles of incident investigation? Do you want to learn more? Our upcoming Incident Investigations workshops are for you! Here’s the course description:

WorkSafeBC’s amendment to Bill 9 includes two major changes to the requirements for employer incident investigations. First, section 175 of the Act has been amended to require an employer to undertake a preliminary investigation within 48 hours of the incident. Second, section 176 of the Act is amended to require an employer to submit a full investigation report to WorkSafeBC within 30 days of an incident.

This course is designed to provide participants the required knowledge to understand the principle of incident investigations and the methods used to ensure an adequate investigation is completed. At the end of the session participants will have an understanding of the requirements for investigating incidents, the tools required to undertake an adequate investigation, methods involved in successful interviews, identifying incident causes and completing incident reports.

May 11, 2017 By Kerry Vital

CITN and its association partners are constantly on the lookout for new courses that we can offer the public. You don’t have to be a member of us or one of our association partners to register for a course!

We are extremely excited to announce that we have two new course offerings for June: Arc Flash Safety Workshop and Introduction to Electrical Quality Management Systems (QA/QC). Let’s start with our Arc Flash Safety Workshop:

This course is designed for front line workers responsible for electrical systems in the CSA Z462-12 electrical safety standard. Participants will gain a full understanding of hazards encountered while operating or maintaining electrical installations in the low voltage (below 750 volts) class including a full understanding of the arc hazard categorization, appropriate personal protective equipment selection and safe work procedures.
This one day workshop is designed to assist organizations to identify shock and arc flash hazards and prevent injuries and incidents associated with those hazards.
Our first session will take place in Burnaby on June 21, and then in Victoria on June 26.
