A key component of introducing and maintaining health and safety processes on any work site is the ongoing training of management and workers. This makes the provision of quality health and safety training opportunities an important part of the Alberta Forest Products Association’s commitment to their members and member contractors.
The AFPA offers a variety of training options using delivery methods which range from traditional classroom training, to training offered online and via CD-ROM.
2010 AFPA Health & Safety Training Schedule
Leadership in Health and Safety (LH&S) Training – Three-day classroom session
LH&S Training is available in a classroom setting as a three-day session. This course is held throughout the year at different locations around Alberta, and can be booked by AFPA members
on request.
LH&S Training is required by small employers (10 or fewer employees) and prospective auditors, and is designed to provide an overall picture of what is required to create and maintain an effective health and safety process. Employees from all levels of an organization will benefit from the information provided in this session.
Leadership in Health and Safety (LH&S) Training – on CD ROM
As an alternative to the LH&S Training in a classroom setting, the AFPA has developed an interactive version of this valuable training on CD-ROM.
The CD is priced according to employer size, not the number of users, and is designed to be user friendly for learners at all levels. A short PowerPoint demo is available for download, or contact us for more information on the software.
Auditor Training - Two-day classroom session
A required course for all prospective auditors and any small employers planning on doing an internal audit, this two-day session includes training in auditing techniques and principles, report writing, and information on the legislation relevant to industry work sites.
