Due Diligence for Employers and Managers
This session has been designed to increase your understanding of the principle of due diligence and provide you with tools to implement the concept of due diligence in your workplace.
As due diligence becomes rooted in the general thinking of a workplace, one may expect a positive shift in safety performance and a strengthened workplace safety culture. Due diligence is an effective barrier to potential convictions related to health and safety.

What Our Customers Think...
“By far the best place for training. They offer several different types of training and are very professional.
I have been doing my joint health and safety committee training this week and could not be more satisfied. Patrick has been teaching the class and he’s an awesome teacher. He’s funny, knowledgeable and cares about what he’s teaching. So many classes like these can be boring and drag on but tomorrow is day 5 and I feel like the week flew by.”
– Jody Lamarre
“The best place to get trained, period. The lessons include plenty of hands on components which definitely help retain the knowledge taught within the classrooms. Above all, the instructors know their stuff, they are all extremely knowledgeable and draw upon their own experiences to help engage the class. If I could give them higher than 5 stars, I would, and I would most definitely do my training refresher courses here again.”
– Ali A
