Mandatory Skills Training

Employees in the forestry and mining sector are legally required to take modular classroom training programs overseen by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD). Workplace Safety North's suite of mandatory programs includes health and safety classroom training for chainsaw, cable skidder and mechanical harvesting equipment operators, as well as for first-line supervisors in surface and underground mining operations (including support services). Forestry training is also available in French. The MLITSD sets competency requirements for these programs, and WSN is responsible for developing and delivering them to you.
