In general, anyone working with lead must be educated and trained.
The employer must develop and implement an exposure control plan meeting the requirements of his or her province’s legislature that governs workers’ compensation, health, and safety. Retraining is required in at least the following situations:
(1) Where changes at the worksite present a hazard about which an employee has not been previously trained; or
(2) Where changes present a hazard in which an employee has not been previously trained; or
(3) Where inadequacies in an affected employee’s work involving asbestos indicate that the employee has not retained the requisite proficiency.
Due to its adverse health effects, lead is classified as a hazardous substance and is thereby regulated by provisions in both the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Regulations and the Occupational Health and Safety Acts and Codes enacted by the governing authorities of each province. Interlocking federal, provincial, and territorial legislation and regulations regarding hazardous materials are also implemented through the national hazard communication system, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).
Beginners: Complete the course in order from beginning to end. Once any topic is completed, you will have full access to it at any time for one year after registration, to use as a resource.
Intermediate/Advanced Users: Use the course as a flexible resource tool to find what you need, whenever you need it. Try the assessment tests first, if you get 80%+ you can move to the next level, if you get less than 80% you should complete the lecture. This gives you a pre and post-assessment score, which can be used to track your skills improvements.
