Description
The Yukon Mine Training Association (YMTA) and the Yukon Workers’ Compensation Health and Safety Board (YWCHSB), in collaboration with CCOHS, have developed a generic certification program for first line supervisors in the mining and resource-related industries. This e-course is part of the process towards obtaining the Permanent First Line Supervisors Certificate, as required by the Occupational Health and Safety Act in the Yukon.
The ultimate goal of this training is to achieve “Safeproduction”. Safeproduction is achieved through the work of competent people – including workers and all levels of supervisors/management. Competent people know and comply with the applicable legislation, know and consistently apply appropriate company operating procedures, and consistently demonstrate a level of performance which satisfies the company standards.
Topics include:
This course consists of 6 modules:
Module 1 – Overview
Module 2 – Health and Safety Program
Module 3 – Prepare for Emergencies
Module 4 – Practice Effective Communication
Module 5 – Manage Work Area Activities
Module 6 – Manage Employees
Upon completion of the course, you will know how to:
- Follow “Safeproduction” steps, including demonstrating knowledge and understanding of the Internal Responsibility System (IRS), the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA), Mining Regulations, and company standards.
- Identify and respond to workplace hazards, accidents/incidents, inspections, and emergencies.
- Use effective communication skills to conduct meetings, organize work, and resolve conflicts.
- Provide consistent leadership to your team, including evaluating worker performance, mentoring, training, conducting meetings, and reporting procedures.
Average time to complete the six modules of this course is approximately five hours.
