Construction Safety Trainers.ca are discussion-based Health and Safety Trainers and consultants. Working At Heights and Construction focused JHSC Certification training are our most popular courses, but we offer so much more, we also offer courses like scaffold, stilts, and propane in
construction as an example.
Because we are discussion-based training providers, we don’t preach Health and Safety we talk about it, we pull from the participants what they know and get the more experienced workers to help teach those that are new to the job.
Fully accredited and certified by the CPO and TSSA we are experts in the fields we teach in. Training is offered in "The Safety Bus" which is a mobile classroom. We can teach anywhere, any time.
