Construction Safety Training System (CSTS) ensures that construction worksites are as safe as possible beginning with basic safety training for all employees. CSTS is the only worker-specific safety program of its kind in the province and is acknowledged industry wide as an excellent learning tool for individuals who are either new to the construction industry or have not had formal safety training.
Construction Safety Training System is a self-paced online course broken down into modules and upon successful completion, a certificate will be issued. Certification is valid across Canada and does not expire.
The 15 modules explore various aspects of a construction jobsite with an emphasis on being aware of common hazards and how to avoid them. Students move through the modules at their own pace, testing their knowledge of the content through interactive "question and answer" scenarios.
