Scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for management and administration of OHS training, identification of OHS training needs, and outlines the development, implementation, and maintenance of an OHS training program and courses. It also specifies how to select training providers with the appropriate qualifications and the requirements for the design and delivery of OHS training courses. In addition, this Standard specifically excludes instructional activities delivered outside a formal training program that do not include formal evaluation of the learning through testing or other formalized methods

Project need:

To propose the reaffirmation of CAN/CSA-Z1001-18. The anticipated impact of this Standard upon Canadian workplaces is to help workers and other parties develop and achieve the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform their work in a manner that reduces risk of harm from work-related hazards. In fact, training is often necessary so that the reintroduction of hazards is prevented, and to help workers utilize the controls that have been implemented. -30-
