Aerial Lifts are critical to the efficient operation on many industrial operations. They allow work at heights to be completed with relative ease and helps to reduce the issue of engineered anchor points, since certified aerial lifts come equipped with them. Because of the height at which aerial lifts can operate, incidents represent a significant risk of catastrophic consequences.  Saskatchewan provincial legislation has very specific regulations governing the training required for operators of aerial lifts and this course meets those requirements.

This course includes approximately 6 hours of theory (online, in classroom or as a Train-the-Trainer). The course content for the online and in classroom versions is the same but delivery in classroom may take longer with the inclusion of examples from the trainer, breaks and questions and discussions that arise when presented in person. Whether theory training is done online or in the classroom there is always a requirement that it be followed up by periods of supervised operation conducted by a qualified person, and a practical evaluation on each type of aerial lift to be operated. All of this must be documented by management within the company.

This course is designed to meet or exceed Saskatchewan provincial legislation, industry best practices, and applicable standards. Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard on a written exam. Upon successful completion of this course a certificate will be accessible to the student. Course participants receive a manual which includes the course content covered including excerpts of the applicable Saskatchewan provincial legislation.

Train-the-Trainer learners will receive a trainer’s manual and a USB which includes: a PowerPoint presentation of the course for future delivery, student manuals, additional handouts, generic certificates and a student exam.

Saskatchewan provincial legislation has very specific regulations governing confined space entry. It is imperative that anyone entering and/or monitoring a confined space have the training needed to understand the potential hazards of working in a confined space, and the knowledge of how to assess and control hazards prior to, and during, entry.

This course includes approximately 6 hours of theory (online, in classroom or as a Train-the-Trainer). The course content for the online and in classroom versions is the same but delivery in classroom may take longer with the inclusion of examples from the trainer, breaks and questions and discussions that arise when presented in person. Emphasis is placed on providing participants with the ability to identify and assess confined spaces, recognize and control the hazards, awareness of confined space personal protective equipment and monitoring equipment, and instruction on how to prepare entry plans.

This course is designed to meet or exceed Saskatchewan provincial legislation, industry best practices, and applicable standards. Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard on a written exam. Upon successful completion of this course a certificate will be accessible to the student. Course participants receive a manual which includes the course content covered including excerpts of the applicable Saskatchewan provincial legislation.

Train-the-Trainer learners will receive a trainer’s manual and a USB which includes: a PowerPoint presentation of the course for future delivery, student manuals, additional handouts and a student exam.

Workers use tools to complete jobs constantly and are taught to care for those tools. What nobody considers is that hands are the most versatile tools we have, and without proper care we may not keep them in working condition.

Hands are vulnerable and one of the leading types of injury. Hand injuries can be very difficult to treat because of the extent of the injury and the complexity of anatomy. Most injuries are preventable if we pay attention, apply safety protocols, and stick to safe work practices.

Suffering a hand injury can limit function for an employee. Severe injuries can result in partial or complete loss of function. It will not only affect your work but will also limit your personal life. If you cannot cook dinner, pick up your kids or participate in leisure activities, it will result in major life changes. 

Hand injuries can easily be avoided with care. Develop and follow safe work practices, always use safeguards, use PPE properly and do not cut corners. For employees it means an injury free work life with no emotional or physical stress, and for employers it means no injury claims, increased production, and a happy and safe workforce.

The SASM Hand Safety Awareness course will help learners to identify hazards that may lead to hand injuries, as well as strategies to help prevent injury.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:

• identify common hand hazards in the workplace
• understand methods and equipment used to prevent hand injuries
• appropriately select, use, and maintain gloves

This course is designed to meet the provincial legislation’s requirements, industry best practices, and applicable standards.  Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard on a written exam.

Every year in Canada workers are injured or killed because equipment, machinery or processes were not properly locked out. Employees servicing, maintaining, repairing, cleaning and replacing machinery or equipment may be exposed to serious physical harm or death if hazardous energy is not properly controlled.

Saskatchewan provincial legislation requires employers to identify existing or potential risks to the health and safety of their employees, and to reduce or control the identified risks. The purpose of lockout is to prevent the exposure to unexpected energization or start-up of machines and equipment, or the release of stored energy. Course content concentrates on identifying the hazards associated with uncontrolled energy and the proper methods of controlling that energy through a soundly developed and implemented lockout program.

This course includes approximately 3 hours of theory if taken independently online and 6 hours of theory if taken in classroom or as a Train-the-Trainer. The course content for the online and in classroom versions is the same but delivery in classroom takes longer with the inclusion of examples from the trainer, breaks and questions and discussions that arise when presented in person. The Train-the-Trainer version of the course additionally prepares trainers to deliver the course material to future trainees.

A Return to Work (RTW) program plays a vital role in returning an ill or injured employee to suitable employment as soon as is safely possible. Workers on compensation for long terms may never return to any workplace, and the WCB pays considerably less than a worker’s normal salary and benefits. In terms of value to an organization, wage replacement is often the single largest cost factor and will increase the organization’s WCB costs in subsequent years. RTW programs are noted as the fastest manner in which to reduce overall WCB premiums.

This course is designed for HR and safety managers, upper and middle management, supervisors and union or OH&S committee representatives. The goal of this course is to provide learners with the ability to develop or add to a RTW program that will allow injured workers to return to work at the earliest safe moment.

Course Description

Prerequisites: None

Certificate:Does not expire; refresher training recommended every three years

A Return to Work Program is a proactive approach to helping injured workers stay at work or return to safe and suitable employment as soon as health permits, following a workplace injury. A Return to Work Program provides modified or accommodated duties and/or graduated work schedules as needed to help injured workers come back to work while they are recovering from their injury or illness. 

The goal is to facilitate a safe and timely return to work, prevent further injuries and optimize the worker’s recovery. The best approach is to have your Return to Work Program and policies in place before a workplace injury occurs – but it is never too late to start.

A Return to Work Program helps to keep experienced workers connected to the workplace, reduce the costs of recruiting and training replacement staff, maintain productivity, reduce WCB premiums, and meet the legal requirements related to Human Rights, WCB and Provincial legislations.

This course is designed for Human Resources, Safety Managers, and upper/mid-level management. It provides the learner with the information necessary to develop and manage a Return to Work program. Taking this course will also provide access to a Return to Work Program Template, that is ready to use for companies who do not already have a RTW program in place, or it can be used to enhance a companies existing RTW program.

Upon successful completion of the course, a certificate and a wallet card will be accessible to the learner.

Designation: Re-certification is required every three years

A safety management system (SMS) must be integrated into the management system(s) of an entire organization.  “Safety” often exists due to workplace culture but every SMS must be able to prove the safety related activities and results with documentation.  Typically, safety documentation that can prove due diligence above and beyond the legal requirements is one of the hardest areas to manage, and is often the reason that firms do not pass an audit.

This course will help provide learners with the skill, knowledge and tools to develop and operate a SMS. Learners will be taken on a step-by-step journey through the development, implementation and operation of a SMS based on SASM’s Bronze and Silver level audit tools. The course begins with the policies and continues through the intricate steps of each element. Samples of numerous documents are presented and worked through in order to provide learners with hands on experience. Real world examples are presented and learners are encouraged to discuss how each element of a SMS can be applied to their workplaces.

The Safety Management Administrator course is based on SASM’s Bronze and Silver level certification program. As such it meets or exceeds legislated requirements as well as the CSA Z1000 and OHSAS 18001 international standards for SMSs.

This course includes 5 days of theory and is designed for individuals who may not be safety personnel but who are tasked with the duty of administrating the SMS for their firm. This may include administrative staff, safety coordinators, human resource personnel and middle to upper management. Previous safety knowledge or training is not required. Learners will receive a manual as well as samples of policies, procedures and forms for each of the 21 separate elements required by SASM’s audit tools. Materials are provided in both hard and electronic copy.

Students will receive an attendance certificate after completing the 5-day course. Students who wish to receive the Safety Management Administrator designation certificate will be required to complete a documentation audit of their firm at SASM’s Silver level standard within 4 weeks of attending the course. 

Course Modules

• Introduction to Auditing
• Introduction to Safety Management Systems
• Introduction to Safety Management System and Audit Standards (i.e. CSA, OHSAS, etc.)

Certificate: Does not expire; refresher training recommended every three years

Skid Steer equipment is becoming a standard for many industrial operations. The multiple attachments offer versatility to accomplish many different tasks.  Because of the height skid steers can reach, the multiple attachments and the unique steering arrangement, skid steer equipment has been involved in incidents with catastrophic consequences.  Saskatchewan provincial legislation has very specific regulations governing the training required for operators of skid steers and this course meets those requirements.

This course includes approximately 6 hours of theory in classroom for the operator (7.5 hours as a Train-the-Trainer). After passing the theory portion of the course there is always a requirement that it be followed up by a period of supervised operation conducted by a qualified person, and a practical evaluation on the type of attachment to be operated. All of this must be documented by management within the company.

This course is designed to meet or exceed Saskatchewan provincial legislation, industry best practices, and applicable standards. Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard on a written exam. Upon successful completion of this course a certificate will be accessible to the student. Course participants receive a manual which includes the course content covered including excerpts of the applicable Saskatchewan provincial legislation.

Train-the-Trainer learners will receive a trainer’s manual and a USB which includes: a PowerPoint presentation of the course for future delivery, student manuals, additional handouts, generic certificates and a student exam.

The Practical Evaluator course is designed to certify supervisors or competent skid steer operators as practical evaluators. Learning outcomes include an overview of regulatory requirements, how to prepare for an evaluation, evaluation methodology, and scoring the evaluation.

Average Length of Time to Complete Course: 6 hours online training; 6 hours in classroom* or 1 full day of classroom training for Train-the-Trainer; approximately 2 hours of theory for the Forklift Practical Evaluator course

Course Description

Prerequisites: For Train-the-Trainer courses, Adult Learning Theory is required prior to taking the course AND learners must have prior training and/or significant experience on the equipment.

Certificate: Does not expire; refresher training recommended every three years

Telehandlers (also known as zoom booms or extended reach forklifts) are relatively recent adaptation of forklifts to add extended horizontal reach capabilities.  As such their operation is somewhat a hybrid of forklift and mobile crane operation.  They can lift quite high but their extended horizontal capacity adds a very substantial level of complexity.  The opportunity to have incident with catastrophic consequences is quite high.  Saskatchewan provincial legislation has very specific regulations governing the training required for operators of telehandlers and this course meets those requirements.

This course includes approximately 6 to 8 hours of theory (online, in classroom or as a Train-the-Trainer). The course content for the online and in classroom versions is the same, but delivery in classroom may take longer with the inclusion of examples from the trainer, breaks and questions and discussions that arise when presented in person. Whether theory training is done online or in the classroom there is always a requirement that it be followed up by periods of supervised operation conducted by a qualified person, and a practical evaluation. All of this must be documented by management within the company.

This course is designed to meet or exceed Saskatchewan provincial legislation, industry best practices, and applicable standards.

Certificate: Does not expire; refresher recommended every 3 years.

Course Description

This course is for employees who are required to work with hazardous materials or who work within the proximity of hazardous materials. Most workplaces have enough hazardous materials onsite to seriously injure personnel so workers must be trained on the hazards associated with chemicals or particulate matter and how to protect themselves. Both Federal and provincial legislation has extremely specific regulations governing workplace hazardous information. It is imperative that anyone who could come in contact with chemicals or hazardous materials have the training needed to understand the potential hazards.

Course content for online and classroom versions is the same but delivery in class may take longer with the inclusion of examples from the trainer, breaks, questions and discussions that arise when presented in person. Emphasis is placed on providing participants with the ability to recognize the hazards, know how to protect themselves and others, and what to do if someone encounters hazardous materials.

This course is designed to meet or exceed Saskatchewan provincial legislation, industry best practices, and applicable standards. Participants must meet the mandatory 80% class performance standard on a written exam. Upon successful completion of this course a certificate and course manual will be accessible to the student.
