Workplace Health and Safety SHSM Certification

Overview:

A Workplace Health & Safety certification is an essential component of many Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM)programs across Ontario. This training introduces students to the fundamentals of hazard recognition, risk prevention, and safe work practices used in Canadian workplaces. Because nearly every industry requires strong safety awareness, this certification is valuable for students exploring pathways in construction, manufacturing, transportation, health care, business, recreation, food services, and community services.

Workplace Health & Safety training teaches students how to identify common workplace hazards, understand legal rights and responsibilities, and follow safe operating procedures. Students learn key concepts such as hazard controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), accident prevention, ergonomics, and emergency response. Through real-world scenarios and applied learning, students develop the situational awareness and problem-solving skills needed to maintain a safe, productive work environment. This certification helps SHSM learners build confidence while preparing them for co-op placements, part-time jobs, and future careers.
