Concrete and Masonry Construction (CAN)

What is Concrete and Masonry Construction (CAN)?

Prepare your construction team to work safely and confidently with concrete and masonry materials through the CSA-Compliant Concrete & Masonry Construction Training. The course covers essential procedures for concrete placement, formwork, shoring, reshoring, lift slab operations, and masonry construction, emphasizing proper handling of heavy materials and equipment. Learners explore the correct use of machinery, safe operational techniques, and the personal protective equipment needed to reduce risk. By examining common hazards and real-world case studies, the training helps workers understand how incidents occur and what preventive measures are effective. Designed to align with key CSA standards, this program equips teams with the knowledge and practices required to maintain safety on complex construction sites.

Course Overview

The Concrete & Masonry Construction training course provides workers with a comprehensive understanding of safe practices when performing concrete or masonry tasks on the worksite. This regulation-compliant program fulfills classroom training requirements and covers the machinery, equipment, and procedures used in concrete placement, cement handling, vertical shoring, reshoring, and formwork operations.

Learners explore safe methods for handling prestressed and precast concrete, performing lift slab operations, and completing masonry construction. The course also reviews the personal protective equipment (PPE) required for these tasks and examines common hazards that can lead to serious incidents. Case studies reinforce how accidents occur and what measures help prevent similar events in the future.

Throughout the course, learners answer practice questions to prepare for the final written exam. A practical evaluation checklist is included for employers in accordance with OSHA expectations. While workers must still be familiar with applicable federal, provincial, and local regulations, this training aligns with key CSA standards, including CSA A23.1, A23.2, A23.3, A23.4, S269.1, A165 series, A179, A370, A371, and S304.

TOPIC OVERVIEW
