Free Safety Topics and Free WHMIS Training
Did you know that you can access Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards free of charge if they are referenced in health and safety legislation?
You can access all these CSA standards for free, but you cannot print them (unless you use the snipping tool). All you have to do is register.
These standards are not the law unless referenced in a piece of legislation. For example, the Safeguarding of Machinery and the Procedures for the Measurement of Occupational Noise Exposure are referenced in WorkSafeBC Occupational Health and Safety regulations and therefore have the force of the law.
If you wonder if the conveyer guard is adequate or how often the lift truck operator needs to refresh their training, this is the place to look.
Some of the standards available include:
1.Workplace electrical safety
2.Safety Standard for Lift Trucks
4.Safeguarding of Machinery
5.Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes
7.Full Body Harnesses
8.Industrial Robots and Robot Systems – General Safety Requirements
9.Hearing Protection Devices – Performance, Selection, Care, and Use
10.Eye and Face Protectors
11.Selection, Use, and Care of Respirators
12. Management of work in confined spaces
