Working At Heights
ACUTE’s Working at Heights training program has been approved by the Chief Prevention Officer under the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s Working at Heights Training Program Standard and the Working at Heights Training Provider Standard.
The ACUTE Working at Heights training provides theory and hands-on practical training and evaluation facilitated by highly skilled and competent instructors.
Working At Heights – Refresher Course
You must take a Working At Heights refresher course every 3 years in order to remain compliant with the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development Department.
In addition, you need to bring your CPO Issued Working at Heights Proof of Training Card. You will not be admitted into the course without this card. Failure to provide this card on the day of training will result in a forfeit of payment.
Confined Space Entry Awareness
ACUTE’s Confined Space Entry Awareness program will familiarize you with the requirements of Ontario Regulation 632/05 – Confined Spaces.
This training program is intended to provide entrants, attendants and competent persons the skills and training required to recognize confined space entry risks and how to establish measured and corresponding controls.
You will have the opportunity to become familiar with, inspect and use Confined Space Entry (CSE) access equipment and air quality instrumentation.
Confined Space Rescue
Our Confined Space Rescue training program builds on the content of the Confined Space Entry Awareness course. it will train you on the safety considerations and how to safely perform rescue from confined space.
This program has a very significant practical component that can be physically demanding for some. During the training, you will have the opportunity to extricate weighted mannequins from our confined space simulators.
Elevating Work Platforms
The Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs) course has been constructed to prepare you for the safe use of EWPs. The theory module covers all classes of EWPs, while the practical module covers only the type of EWP used in your workplace.
Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs) such as scissor lifts and boom lifts can be safe solutions to working at height challenges. Unfortunately, lack of training, improper use and defective equipment has led to serious incidents involving workers in Ontario. This course can help you improve safety in the workplace.
40 Hour HAZWOPER
This training program covers the requirements of the OSHA HAZWOPER standard (29CFR 1910.120). This standard sets out the minimum training requirements for site workers on hazardous waste sites, environmental remediation and emergency projects in the United States.
The quality and comprehensive nature of this standard make it applicable and attractive if you are an employer or worker who works at a Canadian workplace that contains environmental contamination or hazardous materials.
8-Hour HAZWOPER Refresher
If you want to maintain your current certification, you must update your HAZWOPER training every year after the initial 40-hour HAZWOPER training requirement has been met.
This training program meets the requirements outlined in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 for 8 (eight) hours of annual refresher training.
The training program is composed of topics and can be customized to focus on topics that pertain to workplace hazards for workers associated with hazardous waste/materials operations.
What Our Customers Are Saying...
“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
“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.”
