Logistics (Shipping and Warehousing) – An Industry That Could Be Fatal
The latest Motor Vehicle Safety statistics in Canada show that there are over 154,000 nationwide grievances due to traffic collisions every year. Almost 10,000 of these are serious injuries and 1,841 of them result in death. In 30% of the fatalities and in 17% of serious injuries, seatbelts were not worn.
This serves to show that, even though Canadian roads have become much safer in the last 20 years, safety training for the logistics and warehousing industry are vital. It’s not only the lives and health of employees that are at stake, but also the proper running of related businesses.
The list below details the safety courses associated with some of the most commonplace jobs in logistics and warehousing.

Courses Recommended for Logistics (Shipping and Warehousing)
Incident / Accident Investigation
All jobs come with their own occupational hazards, but shipping and warehousing in particular can be incredibly risky. From heavy loads to harmful substances, workers in this industry face on a daily basis a tremendous variety of hazards, thus causing many workplace incidents. This course provides a practical approach to investigating workplace incidents by emphasizing how to find the root cause(s), conduct an investigation, and make effective recommendations in order to prevent similar incidents.
Hazard Awareness
All jobs come with their own occupational hazards, but shipping and warehousing in particular can be incredibly risky - especially when the dangers are less obvious. From heavy loads to harmful substances, workers in this industry face on a daily basis a tremendous variety of hazards. This course trains workers in recognizing the most common hazards, as well as how to report them or refuse work if hazards have not been correctly controlled or work conditions are unsafe.
Crane Operator
Logistic, shipping and warehouse workers often use cranes to quickly and efficiently move and transport different kinds of goods. However, if they are not manipulated correctly, these vehicles can lead to devastating injuries and even death. This program teaches students how to identify different types of cranes, as well as evaluate potential dangers and take safety precautions to minimize the risks.
Forklift Safety
Over 99% of accidents involving forklifts are caused by human error, which is why it is essential that employees are efficient at moving with or without loads, but also at picking up and stacking cargo. This program is designed both for operators and those who regularly work around forklifts.
Office Ergonomics
Unlike associates, warehouse managers will spend most of their time at the desk, talking with suppliers and merchants. This program familiarizes them with the musculoskeletal (MSD) disorders, injuries, and stress associated with improper desk posture.
Heat & Cold Stress Prevention
Although modern warehouses rarely have high temperatures, some associates will often have to load and unload merchandise outdoors. This course is designed for employees working outside and it raises awareness about overheating, as well as how to deal with heat stress.
PPE
All warehouse personnel must wear protective clothing, as the latter minimizes the level of risk, while also ensuring professionals’ safety and health. This course helps applicants understand how to use such equipment themselves while at work, but also how to wear and maintain their PPE gear.
Ladder Safety
Working in logistics, transport and distribution, brings about its own set of challenges. Employees are commonly required to use ladders, thus making ladder safety training essential. Our ladder safety training course raises awareness of the dangers associated with ladders and the practical steps that can be taken to minimize and control the risks that ladders present.
NORM Safety Awareness
Much like in the case of hazardous materials, NORM training is required for those specialized warehouses and logistics employees who handle naturally occurring radioactive materials. The course deals with NORM risk and hazards, while also helping workers understand how to work safely around such substances.
Lone Worker Safety
Working in logistics, transport and distribution, brings about its own set of challenges. Employees face long periods spent working alone, thus making lone worker training essential. This training course draws attention to the perils of working alone and proposes a set of practical safety measures that can be implemented to reduce potential risks.
Fire Safety & Extinguishers
Warehouse fires are a commonplace in warm climates and they are often triggered by inadequate packaging from third-party sources. This program teaches workers how to prevent and evacuate potential fires, but also how to manage damages when they take place.
Electrical Safety Awareness
Warehouse floors are riddled with electrical cords, tools, and equipment. This course is designed to teach employees how to safely handle, but also work around hot installations. They learn about the causes of the most frequent electricity accidents, as well as how to avoid them by not becoming part of an electricity loop.
Defensive Driving
Those employees who have to drive as part of their professional responsibilities must undergo a training program designed to help them become responsible, safe drivers. This course targets traffic awareness and defensive driving, so that students may be able to anticipate and respond to possible traffic incidents.
Conflict Resolution
Workers in the logistics and transportation deal with interpersonal conflicts on a regular basis. This Conflict Resolution program is designed to help employees deal with conflicts in a constructive manner, ideally before a crisis takes place.
Elevating Work Platforms
Large industrial warehouses often provide boom supported platforms for employees who work at heights. Since the overwhelming majority of crane and forklift accidents are caused by human error, this course is designed to help workers be aware of lift hazards and minimize the risk of accident.
WHMIS
Hazardous products are a liability for both employee and employer. This course minimizes the risk associated with warehousing chemicals or hazardous materials by covering aspects such as the handling and environmental conditions requirements for dangerous substances.
Lock Out/Tag Out
When working around heavy machinery such as cranes, forklifts, or other industrial trucks, it is adamant for employees to grasp the full importance of energy control. This course is designed to teach Lockout Tagout techniques in a practical manner, while also clarifying energy isolation.
TDG
This course helps workers become able to recognize and classify dangerous goods, as well as acquire knowledge related to the proper documentation, safety marks, containments, and provisions of TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods). Furthermore, drivers learn how to effectively deal with emergencies related to dangerous merchandise.
Fall Protection
Fall protection isn’t something that necessarily comes to mind when you’re first discussing warehouse safety hazards, but just like anywhere else, fall hazards exist. This course aims to help workers understand how to eliminate the risk of fall accidents through the use of personal protective equipment and fall protection systems.

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.
