Summary

This 6 hour program provides training in the business of babysitting, proper supervision, basic care giving skills and responding properly to ill or injured children and infants. The program is intended to be flexible in content. It can be customized to meet the teaching styles of the instructor and the learning needs of the student. This program may be integrated with Pediatric Emergency First Aid CPR and AED for a more extensive First Aid CPR and AED skills program. This program is intended for responsible adolescents 10 years and up who want to become babysitters or who are providing babysitting and child care services already.

Many experts feel that 14 is generally an appropriate age to begin babysitting, but maturity, responsibility and the ability to react effectively in care of an emergency must always be considered regardless of age. There is no law that says what minimum age a person must be before they can babysit, however it is against the law for a person to babysit during school hours that is under the age of 16 without permission from their school principle. Parents have the responsibility to decide how old a babysitter they hire should be and it is their responsibility to hire someone who can look after their children properly. In most cases labour laws do not apply to babysitting on a short term basis.

The Advanced Curriculum, is a fundamental training program in emergency care designed with the workplace attendant in mind. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other important emergency care skills are combined into a single approach to the patient, the same as used by professional emergency care personnel.

This approach results in a continuity of care as the patient is passed from the Workplace Attendant, to health care First Responder, EMR, Paramedic, Nurse, or Physician. The Advanced Curriculum should be considered a “core program” appropriate for many work sites. It is the minimum information and skills for persons with a requirement to be occupational first aid trained at the Advanced level. The core program can be supplemented with information on additional first aid topics specific to an occupation or industry.

Emphasis in Advanced MEDIC training is on safely identifying and managing life-threatening emergencies. Training focuses on information, assessment, and skills that will protect life or prevent further injury. Numerous and varied uses of the information presented helps create retention.

Summary

On a construction site, the work environment, climate, equipment, personnel, and conditions are in a continuous state of change. These variables can cause accidents and injuries if proper awareness and respect of the hazards and best safety practices are not strictly followed.

Safety is part of your job. An accident-free work environment is not a goal, it is an expectation. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Accident prevention requires making safety a part of every task you perform.

Summary

Hydrogen sulfide is an extremely toxic, colourless, flammable gas with a characteristic “rotten egg” smell when present in low concentrations. Hydrogen sulfide is a liquid when stored at low temperature or high pressure. It turns rapidly into a gas at room temperature and under normal pressure conditions.

Hydrogen sulfide, or H2S, occurs naturally in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. It can also result from bacterial breakdown of organic matter, as well as being produced by human and animal wastes.

Hydrogen sulfide is used in processing many different types of products. For example, in the Pulp and Paper industry, it is used as a whitening agent for paper products. Hydrogen sulfide is also a by-product of petroleum production, and occurs naturally in crude oil. It may be present in petroleum production facilities or in petrochemical operations.

It may also be present at natural gas wells or in natural gas pipelines. Hydrogen sulfide may also be released during wastewater treatment and during landfill operations.

By implementing the safety guidelines in this guide, you can avoid injury and work safely with and around hydrogen sulfide.

Summary

Operating a pendant controlled crane is a big responsibility. The operator is in control of the movement of thousands of pounds around equipment and co-workers. Improper use of a pendant controlled crane can have serious consequences, including injuries to co-workers, property damage, increased crane maintenance, and even the possibility of deaths occurring. Cranes should only be operated by trained, authorized personnel.

This course provides a general introduction to the safe operation of pendant controlled cranes. Operating a pendant controlled crane takes skill and concentration. With knowledge and the proper training, it can be done in a safe manner that eliminates the potential for incidents.

Summary

Pipelines are the primary means of transporting natural gas and oil products across the continent. Many companies and organizations—including the petroleum, natural gas, and chemical industries—rely on pipelines to connect refineries, processing plants, distribution sites, and customers with vital oil, gas, and chemicals. Almost every house and commercial building relies on pipelines to receive heating fuel, water, and gas.

Keeping this network running smoothly is important to everyone who turns up a thermostat, switches on a boiler, or starts a car. Your ability to work safely, while protecting the environment, is the key to the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline. Pipeline incidents can be devastating, putting at risk people and the environment.

Pipeline workers need to understand and be aware of potential hazards and take measures to prevent incidents and accidents. The individual safety training topics involved are many and vary from excavation safety, to personal protective equipment, to welding, to ergonomics.

Preventing accidents and protecting your health, as well as exercising proper stewardship of the environment, is our primary concern. Your personal commitment to these goals and a strict compliance with established procedures and practices are required.

Summary

The Scaffolding Safety series is designed to provide a general introduction to the safety requirements for constructing and working on scaffolds. The safety of employees who perform these activities depends on the integrity of the scaffold system that has been erected and closely following safe work practices.

Part 1— Erecting & Dismantling: Covers pre-planning, inspection of scaffold components, load capacity, platform construction, access, fall protection, falling object protection, dismantling, and more. Scaffold erectors and dismantlers should also receive specific training for the type of scaffold being erected or dismantled.

Part 2 — Safe Work Practices: Covers potential hazards including electricity, falls, falling objects, and safe work practices to protect yourself while working on a scaffold.

Training requirements for employees who perform work while on a scaffold, and also for employees who erect, dismantle, move, operate, repair, maintain, or inspect scaffolds are located in provincial OH&S guidelines.
