Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What size workplaces are required to provide Worker Health & Safety Awareness Training? All Ontario workplaces covered under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), regardless of size, must ensure workers complete a Health & Safety Awareness Training Program. This includes small businesses, mid-sized companies, and large organizations across all industries.
How long after hiring does an employee need to complete training? Employers must ensure workers complete the training as soon as practicable after starting their job. While there is some flexibility, it is recommended that workers complete the training before being exposed to any workplace hazards.
Do employers need to keep records of completed training? Yes, employers are responsible for maintaining records of completed training for each worker. These records should be readily available in case of an inspection by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD).
What happens if an employer does not provide the required training? Failure to provide Worker Health & Safety Awareness Training can lead to enforcement action by the MLITSD, including compliance orders, fines, or other penalties. Providing timely training helps employers meet legal obligations and maintain a safe work environment.
Does this training need to be repeated? Workers who have previously completed an equivalent Health & Safety Awareness Training Program may not need to repeat it if they provide proof of completion. However, employers must verify that the previous training meets Ontario’s regulatory requirements. Additionally, refresher training may be required based on workplace changes or evolving health and safety regulations.
