Jan 1st 2022

Hey there all you Cats!!! TSC has a new course available on the LMS: Cargo Securement Theory...  (this is also available in-person & live-online)...

This course is Theory only however, a practical evaluation can be scheduled at your Workplace, once the Theory has been successfully completed.  Watch for Cargo-Specific Modules coming in 2022...

The Theory-only would be good as a refresher for someone who has already taken Cargo Securement training in the past..

MHE Evaluator...  this is not a full Forklift Train-The-Trainer program, this would work in conjunction with my LMS Forklift Program.  Trainees would take the full Forklift Theory online, and then you could have your own in-house Practical Evaluator!  

This course is the first of what will become a series of courses to train people to become Forklift Practical Evaluators, for numerous classes of Forklifts...

This course is only available in-person, there is both a Theoretical & Practical component.  This may also be a good program from someone to take to work-towards a full Train-The-Trainer program...

This course is 1-1.5 days for 1 or 2 people.  Trainees must be currently Certified Forklift operators, have current WHMIS training & current TDG training: if TDG applies to your workplace...

Please contact me directly for more info & pricing...  #thesafetycat

Hey there all you Cats!!!  Following-up on my post about changes to TDG Training/Legislation...  The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) has released CAN/CGSB-192.3-2020: TDG Training, Assessment & Competency Training Standard.  Within this standard you will find that there will be a requirement for the Employer to create a Task List, define the specific tasks that relate to TDG, and then ensure competency & compliance through a series of "practical evaluations/demonstrations" related to each task for each Employee involved in TDG...  

This is a large change to TDG! 

I can help you in 2 ways: 

1) I can deliver the theory/awareness training AND oversee the practical evaluations after you have created the job-specific task-list (I can help with the list too)... or

2) I can deliver the theory/awareness training, provide you with a guidance-document to conduct the practical evaluations, and then come and perform a summary-audit of your practical compliance efforts, to determine if you have met compliance requirements...

From the info I can find, the expectation for this to be in-place is Q#2 or Q#3, 2023...

Please contact me directly and we can discuss how I can hep...  Have a Safe Day!!!  #thesafetycat
