Training is vital to the success of any health and safety program. At CanMar Contracting Ltd. we provide our employees with many opportunities to learn about health and safety in the workplace. Much of our training is done in house under the direction of our full time Health and Safety Coordinator. All CanMar employees are certified and current in WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). Our workers have also been trained in one or more of the following:

• Standard First Aid CPR Level C
• Propane Handling
• Confined Spaces Hazard Awareness
• Basics of Fall Protection
• Supervisor Competency
• Forklift Safety
• Scaffold Users Hazard Awareness
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Suspended Access Equipment

Entering our job sites, one will become immediately aware of the high priority we place on safety. CanMar supplies all its employees with up-to-date CSA and Ministry of Labour approved personal protective equipment.

With Ministry of Labour standards serving as a minimum mandatory requirement on our job sites, CanMar strives to achieve its goal of ZERO ACCIDENTS / INCIDENTS by implementing various measures and practices such as the mandatory use of high visibility clothing and reflective safety vests.

Training workers in the proper use of personal protective equipment, proper handling procedures and proper work practices are also a top priority and key factor in achieving our goal of ZERO ACCIDENTS / INCIDENTS.
