First Line Supervisor Training

Following a thorough consultation process with the Yukon mining industry, the Yukon Mine Training Association (YMTA) and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board (YWCHSB), in collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety have developed a practical certification program for first line supervisors in Yukon.
It’s important that first line supervisors obtain this certification. The types of workplace hazards in this high-risk industry are unique and have the potential for catastrophic consequences if safe work procedures and processes are not followed. The goal of the program is to provide first line supervisors with the knowledge to comply with applicable health and safety legislation, to consistently apply appropriate operating procedures and to demonstrate a level of performance that meets industry standards.
The program contains an on-line e-learning training course with six modules. All you need is a computer with access to the Internet. The course is designed to help you learn at your own pace. For more information go to: http://www.wcb.yk.ca/Media/documents/OHS1stlinesupervisorscourseNov16-11.pdf
