What is Employee Safety Orientation for Canadian Workers?

Workplace safety starts with awareness, understanding the risks around you and knowing how to respond when something goes wrong. The Workplace Safety Practices course offers a clear, practical introduction to recognizing hazards, following protective measures, and taking the right actions during an emergency. Whether identifying unsafe conditions, using controls such as signage and PPE, or responding to unexpected events, workers will learn the essential practices that help prevent injuries and support a safer work environment. This awareness-focused training prepares employees to make safer decisions every day and contribute to a strong, proactive safety culture.

Course Overview

The Workplace Safety Practices course introduces employees to the essential behaviours, precautions, and response actions needed to maintain a safe working environment.
