Security – An Industry That Could Be Fatal
The private security sector has been on the rise over the past two decades. According to an article published in Juristat by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, there were more people working in private security than police officers in 2001. Five years later, in 2006, a report by Statistics Canada found an additional 15% increase in the number of private security guards. At the time, 68,000 people were employed as police officers, while 102,000 worked as private security personnel.
However, according to the same reports, private security guards were more likely to be fatally injured, mainly because, unlike police officers, the former could not be properly armed. Indeed, to this day, private security personnel must observe the same regulations as ordinary citizens when it comes to carrying firearms.
Under the circumstances, it is essential that employees in the Security sector are rigorously trained to acknowledge, identify, and handle the potential life-threatening dangers associated with their jobs. The list of training programs described below are meant to tackle common risks in Security in order to improve the safety of employees in the workplace.

Courses Recommended for Security
Incident / Accident Investigation
The role of a security guard is important for protecting private property and the people who reside or work on the premises they guard. However, there are several risks that security guards often face, resulting in many incidents that need to be investigated by an investigation team. This course emphasizes the main steps of an incident investigation while providing effective recommendations in order to prevent similar occurrences from ever happening again.
Hazard Awareness
The role of a security guard is important for protecting private property and the people who reside or work on the premises they guard. However, there are several risks that security guards often face. This course provides workers with information about the most common hazards, as well as how to assess and report them.

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.
Arc Flash Safety
Very little can happen in mining without electricity. From drilling equipment and powered shovels to fixed and mobile conveyors, most equipment requires electrical power. In order to keep work safe, miners should be aware of electricity hazards, including arc flash. This course is designed for workers with little or no electrical training, but who may be required to perform activities near electrical equipment.

Security personnel who work in environments where Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials may be present must be made aware of the potential hazards associated with NORM. This training program offers detailed information about NORM, as well as how you can identify these materials and handle them safely.
Lone Worker Safety
Private security guards are sometimes required to work alone and/or in remote areas, which increases the risk of injury and even death. This training program explains the dangers of working alone and provides a number of safety measures that are designed to minimize potential risks for lone workers.
Fire Safety & Extinguishers
In case of a fire hazard, security personnel must be able to act in order to preserve their own safety and that of everyone around them. This awareness program describes fire prevention methods, as well as proper evacuation procedures and ways to minimize property damages.
Electrical Safety Awareness

Its aim is to inform you about potential electrical hazards, as well as provide a set of safety measures that can be implemented to prevent electricity-related injuries in the workplace.
Defensive Driving
Security personnel who are also required to drive vehicles at work are more likely to suffer injuries. This awareness program draws your attention to the increased risk of collision while driving and provides a set of measures that can help you avoid accidents on the road.
Conflict Resolution
Most work-related injuries in the Security sector take place as a result of human violence. This safety course addresses those situations when conflict can be reconciled through proper communication strategies in order to avoid escalation and/or physical confrontation.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Security personnel who work in a clinical environment and all private security guards are at risk of becoming contaminated with bloodborne pathogens. This awareness course focuses on the characteristics of dangerous pathogens such as HIV, HBV, and Hepatitis C. It describes how employees may be exposed to the latter and indicates a series of preventative measures.
WHMIS
To comply with the Government of Canada’s Hazardous Products Act, all employees who work with or around hazardous materials must undergo a WHMIS training program. This safety course draws your attention to the nature of hazardous materials, describes the potential threats associated with such substances, and indicates a set of safety measures to be applied in the workplace.
Workplace Violence & Harassment
All employees must understand what workplace harassment is, how it can be prevented, as well as how it should be reported. This online course tackles the issues above and gives you an overview of your employer’s responsibilities to help prevent and sanction inappropriate behavior at work.

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.
