The Construction Safety Officer Training program continues from the Trade Safety Coordinator program to provide students with a deeper understanding of the specifics of safety and hands-on skills. We will look at specific parts of the OHS Regulation and specific sections of the WCA to ensure that our students are knowledgeable when going to a worksite and are able to deal with topics such as Fall Protection, Confined Space, Electrical Safety and Occupational Hygiene.
To qualify for the Construction Safety Officer (CSO) course and subsequent certification, a person must be at least 16 years old and have the physical ability to perform first aid skills required to complete the learning tasks. Completion of the Trade Safety Coordinator (TSC) course is required.
