IHSA specializes in high-risk training at heights
Working at Heights—
Fundamentals of Fall Prevention
“I believe that this program has the potential to become the ‘gold standard’ for basic fall-
prevention training in this province.”
– Peter Fonseca, Ontario’s former Minister of Labour
If your workers face fall hazards, you’re required to provide them with fall-protection
training. Taught by IHSA experts, this full-day program explains the essentials of fall
protection in the construction, electrical & utilities, and transportation industries.
The course involves classroom instruction and hands-on exposure to some common
equipment.
It replaces IHSA’s previous four-hour Basics of Fall Protection course and training kit.
(Employers still have to provide application- and equipment-specific training.)
See Page 43
Suspended Access Equipment for more info
Instructed by IHSA experts, this program teaches
participants how to recognize, select, and install
• suspended access equipment

• support systems
• fall protection.
It’s the right course for workers and supervisors who rig
and install such equipment.

Safe Driver and Safe Worker
Award Programs
The Infrastructure Health & Safety Association established the Safe Driver and Safe Worker Award
Programs for employers to recognize the health and safety performance of their employees. They
are symbols of your company’s commitment to health and safety.
Benefits of the Programs
• Demonstrate the importance of working safely

• Demonstrate the company’s appreciation of a job well done
• Improve employee morale
• Build confidence in individuals and give them confidence in the company
• Document the employee’s and the company’s history of safety
• Show customers and other companies the quality of service you provide.
The Safe Driver Award is for commercial drivers. Drivers receive a pin for each year they work
without a motor vehicle incident. The Safe Worker Award is for all other workers. Workers receive a
pin for each year they work without a compensable incident.
The programs are a great way for you to reinforce health and safety in your company’s daily
activities and reward those employees who integrate it into their work. If you would like more
information about the Safe Driver and Safe Worker Award programs, contact customer service at
1-800-263-5024.
Training
One of the benefits of being a member of IHSA
is the wide variety of training available to you.
When your three legacy organizations came
together—CSAO, E&USA, and THSAO—all their
expertise came with them. Now, you have access
to experienced instructors from several industries
who are working together to serve you.
We offer 85 unique courses that you can’t get

from any other health and safety association. Many
of our courses focus on high-risk industries and
range from working at heights to defensive driving
and from powerline apprenticeship training to
ergonomics. Complete in-class programs at one of
our locations or have an instructor come to you.
IHSA courses range from short general awareness
sessions to highly technical hands-on instruction.
