Canadian Safety Group
Platinum Award Winning Course 2021, 2022, and 2023! Meets and exceeds CSA Z1220 and WSIB regulation 1101.
Traditional first aid courses are designed for low-risk urban settings where risk is minimal. In construction, industrial, manufacturing, and mining work, we know that both the likelihood and severity of illness or injury are greater due to the nature of the activities we engage in and the environment we work in. The situation is then compounded by an extended period of time to definitive care, meaning YOU as the responder must be able to deal with the casualty for longer.
This course is not just about getting your certificate; we want to make sure you feel confident in your skills, and that you can perform them under pressure, preparing you for real world situations.
What Will I Learn In This Course?
Exposure to falls is a daily occurrence in the construction industry and unfortunately is one of the leading causes of fatalities. Some common hazards that contribute to falls from heights include:
- Unsafe use of ladders
- Lack of guardrails
- Poorly maintained equipment such as ropes and harnesses
CSG’s CPO-approved training is designed to provide workers with the safety they need to prevent accidents in the workplace
What participants will be able to:
- Recognize working at heights hazards
- Explain the hierarchy of controls
- Discuss safe work plans
- Identify and assess when ladders are appropriate
- Explain proper inspection, care, and use of ladders
- Describe types of warning methods and physical barriers
- Identify when warning methods and physical barriers are required
- Discuss limitations, application, and storage of different fall protection systems
- Calculate fall distances
- Demonstrate how to inspect equipment, don and doff a harness, and maintain 100% tie-off
- Discuss the differences between permanent, temporary, and structural anchors

- Explain the purpose, roles, and responsibilities of workplace parties with respect to a rescue plan
- Explain immediate first aid for a fallen worker
Core Components
Basic Theory
This basic theory module discusses:
- working at heights hazards
- controls
- basics of fall protection
- ladder safety
Practical Equipment
The practical equipment module focuses on the application and use of the different fall protection systems, their components, and their limitations. Learners must demonstrate how to inspect the equipment, don and doff the harness, and maintain 100% tie-off. These are performance outcomes and must be achieved successfully.
