Solid Waste Operators

TSAG is offering a suite of safety training courses and certifications to First Nations Waste Transfer Station Operators and Waste Collections Operators that will include:

• Intermediate First Aid and CPR
• Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)

• Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG)

Intermediate First Aid (formerly Standard First Aid) is the most commonly required training course in the workplace. In addition to CPR, this course offers valuable information and skills to a first aider so that you will be effective until EMS arrives.

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is a simple and informative course that can be completed in a classroom setting or by self-study. Health and safety training experts recommend on-site training courses specific to the types of chemicals at your work place. WHMIS training takes a common sense approach to workplace health and safety.

Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) affects anyone who handles, ships, receives, transports or offers a consignment for transport requires dangerous goods training under federal law. On Canada ‘s highways, nearly 1 out of every 7 trucks is carrying dangerous goods. Gasoline, diesel, antifreeze and acids are just a few of the 3000 dangerous goods transported on our roads everyday.

There are only 15 spots available, so we are limiting registration to 3 operators from each First Nation.
