Why Safety Training Matters for Administrative Assistants
Industry Safety Statistics
According to the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada, manufacturing accounts for 42,000 workplace injuries annually. Machine-related injuries are the leading cause of lost-time claims, with improper lockout/tagout procedures responsible for 10% of serious factory accidents. The average manufacturing injury results in 17 days of lost work. Source: AWCBC National Work Injury Statistics Program, 2021
Regulatory Compliance Requirements
Canadian Occupational Health and Safety regulations mandate specific training for production workers. WHMIS 2015 certification is legally required for anyone handling hazardous materials. Lockout/tagout training is mandatory under Canada Labour Code Part II for equipment maintenance. Provincial safety authorities enforce strict standards with significant penalties for violations.
Employment Opportunities
Canada's manufacturing sector employs over 1.7 million workers, with production positions representing the largest segment. The industry faces a skilled labour shortage, with 85,000 unfilled positions. Employers increasingly require comprehensive safety training due to insurance requirements and liability concerns.

About Salary Expectations
While we cannot guarantee specific salary increases from safety training alone, Government of Canada Job Bank data shows that production workers earn between $32,000-$55,000 annually, with specialized positions typically at the higher end. Safety certifications may help you qualify for these various positions, each with its own requirements and compensation levels. Note: Salaries vary by region, experience, and specific employer

Each position benefits from different combinations of our safety courses
Insurance and Liability Considerations
Manufacturing facilities face significant liability exposure from workplace injuries. Insurance companies increasingly require documented safety training for all production staff. Workers without proper certifications may face limited employment options as companies cannot afford the liability risk. Well-trained workers help facilities maintain lower WSIB premiums.
Understanding Your Training Courses
Essential Bundle
