HEALTH & SAFETY - COMPLIANCE COURSE

ZERO Tolerance and looking for YOU…..

If you are self employed doing renovations, a sub contractor or trades person, you fall under the Ministry of Labour (MOL) Occupational Health & Safety Act. Under recent changes, the MOL are now tightening up on the construction industry and the MOL ZERO Tolerance is out to make everyone compliant under the LAW.

Ministry of Labour Says
“Inspectors will take a ‘ZERO TOLERANCE’ approach to any serious violations found under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its Regulations”

CARAHS offers the self employed who do not pay in to WSIB the opportunity to become compliant.

We offer a 10 course program to make you compliant under the LAW, through our Health & Safety awareness program, consisting of 10 subjects. These are run at RONA locations on Saturdays, so you do not lose time from work, between Monday and Friday’s.

DUE DILIGENCE is your only protection. The CARAHS Health & Safety compliance awareness course makes you compliant under the LAW.
