Education and Research – An Industry That Could Be Fatal
With less than 8,000 lost time claims on a yearly basis, the Canadian Educational Services sector is one of the safest places to work in. When we take a look at the breakdown of these injuries, AWCBC statistics indicate that nearly half of them are accidents due to slips, falls, and similar incidents.
With appropriate safety training, the number of injuries in Education can be mitigated even further. In addition, employees in this industry are often legally responsible for the welfare of others, so rigorous and regular safety training programs are a must.
Below is a list of some of the most common jobs in education alongside the safety certifications required by each.

Courses Recommended for Education and Research
Incident / Accident Investigation
Although one of the safest industries, Education and Research workers still encounter hazards that can ultimately lead to incidents in the workplace. This training program offers information on how to conduct an investigation, as well as how to make effective recommendations to prevent similar occurrences from ever happening again.
Hazard Awareness
Although one of the safest industries, Education and Research workers still encounter hazards that can put their health and/or safety at risk, such as slips, falls, chemical substances, ergonomic hazards, etc. This course helps employees acknowledge the most common types of hazards, as well as how to report them or refuse work if hazards have not been correctly controlled or work conditions are marked as unsafe.
Food Safety Awareness
The Education and Research sector often overlaps with the food industry, thus highlighting the importance of safe food practices. This awareness course provides a strong understanding of food processing, food quality assurance, food safety, and food inspection.
Workplace Mental Health Awareness
The average person spends a third of each and every day in their place of work, so it stands to reason that the space they work in can have a significant impact on their outlook and wellbeing. This awareness course aims to draw attention to the worker’s mental state while describing preventative measures, as well as early detection strategies for mental health issues.
Office Ergonomics
Clerks and researchers in Education are often required to sit at their desks for prolonged periods of time, which comes with the added risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This program is designed to teach employees about the health hazards of improper posture and how they can be mitigated.
PPE
Custodial workers and researchers who regularly handle dangerous substances must receive Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training. This course is designed to help employees understand the necessity and correct use of PPE, as well as proper gear maintenance.
NORM Safety Awareness
Both in teaching and in research, workers will sometimes come in contact with naturally occurring radioactive materials, which makes NORM safety training a necessity. This program helps employees understand the health hazards of working with NORM and it teaches them how to safely handle and/or work around the latter.
Lone Worker Safety
The education and research industry is no longer just limited to the front line as there are also many behind-the-scenes roles that put workers at daily risk of accidents in a lone working environment. Lone Worker Safety Training draws attention to the perils of working alone and proposes a set of practical safety measures that can be implemented to reduce potential risks.
First Aid Awareness
Serious injuries and accidents can happen in any environment. For workers who are regularly responsible for the welfare of others, being aware of first aid techniques is a mandatory safety requirement. This course offers information regarding practical and effective responses in case of a first aid emergency.
Fire Safety & Extinguishers
Working in education places a great responsibility on employees, as they often have to take care of others in addition to themselves. As such, regular and rigorous fire safety training is a must. This course comprehensively covers aspects such as fire hazards, types of fires, and optimal procedures in case of an outbreak.
Electrical Safety Awareness
The increased number of devices used in education and research comes with an augmented electrical hazard. This course covers noteworthy electrical risks in the workplace, how to manage and/or avoid them, but also what procedures to follow in case of a discharge.
Conflict Resolution
Education is a place where debate and arguments take place on a daily basis, since this is also a core method of teaching. To avoid their escalation into interpersonal conflicts, employees must receive appropriate conflict resolution training. This program covers the basics of acknowledging, avoiding, and/or dealing with conflicts between individuals.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Because workers in Education come in contact with many individuals on a regular basis, they must receive appropriate training with regards to the hazards of bloodborne pathogens. This course offers comprehensive information on what employees can do to safeguard themselves against bloodborne pathogens, as well as the protocols to be followed in case of exposure.
WHMIS
Hazardous materials can make their way both in research facilities and in classrooms, which is why employees in Education must undergo WHMIS training. The program is designed to teach employees how to recognize potentially hazardous materials, while also making it possible for them to handle and/or dispose of the latter in a safe manner.
Workplace Violence & Harassment
Workplace harassment and sexual discrimination continue to be a problem for educational services. This program offers information regarding unacceptable behavior towards others, strategies to prevent harassment from taking place, but also what procedures to follow in case of an incident.

Add your workersFrequently Asked Questions
Are you courses compliant with OHS & Worker Compensation Boards?
All our courses are compliant with OHS and the CSA Standards which the Worker Compensation Boards follow. However, there are some courses which also require the hands-on practice and evaluation, on top of the theoretical training and evaluation which is offered by the online training.
For these courses, we have included, in our training modules and in their respective resources section, an operator evaluation checklist which you can use to assist you with this hands-on practice and evaluation. This part of the training is done offline and has to be workplace specific and as such, it is not something that we are able to offer.
What happens after I purchase the course?
Once you finish with your checkout process, you will immediately be credited with the courses that you have purchased. You can then use the “Invite New Users” function or the “Group Training” option, depending on your preferred method of training, to assign the courses to your workers.
Can I use my email / same email to invite my workers to course?
No. Each email used in the invitational process has to be unique for each person taking the course.
If your workers do not have an email address, you can use the invitation function for workers without an email address, by clicking “Yes” in the checkbox near the question “DO YOU HAVE WORKERS WITHOUT EMAIL ADDRESS?”. This will open a different invitation process that does not use email addresses for.
Can everyone do the training from the same computer?
Yes. Please note that you do, however, have to log out after each session so the next worker can login using his personal details.
To log out from an account, you will have to click “My Account” from the top right corner of the website and once you are in your user control panel, click the “Log out” button.
How long do you have to complete a course?
Workers invited to take a course will have up to one year to complete their training so this should offer them plenty of time to do it.
Can you pause & resume a course?
Yes. When you pause a course, a bookmark will be left to that slide / module. You can later resume from there or chose to start from the beginning of the module.
Can you retake the testing section if you fail?
If your workers are invited in an individual training system (they do the training from their own account), they will have unlimited exam attempts.
If your workers are participating in a group training, they will have one re-attempt per module. This is to prevent the entire group from waiting for certain individuals that are not paying attention to the training session.
Do you offer offline training as well?
Not at this moment. All our courses are online.
Still Have Questions?
No worries. We are here to help. You can call us at (866) 470-7740 if you have any questions.
