How did we get here?
Back in the 1900’s… okay, we’re not that old. Back in 1999, our founder realized the only way to get health and safety advice came at a high cost through private consultants. It was in that moment Systems 24-7 was born. We believe in providing expert advice and guidance at an affordable rate so that every organization can have an effective health and safety program.

RACE: Recognize, Assess, Control and Evaluate Hazard Controls

The “recognize, assess and control” method of dealing with hazards is a specialized form of problem-solving. The problem is to anticipate hazards and then take action to prevent injury and illness to people or to control property losses. You may become aware of a hazard in a variety of ways such as voicing a worker's concern, or something noticed during a workplace inspection. It may come to your attention through the Health and Safety Representative or a Joint Health and Safety Committee member, or because of an accident investigation. This module will teach participants to use hazard recognition, assessment, and control principles to deal with all hazards.
Respect in the Workplace
Who Should Attend: Great for all employees
Respect can be defined as consideration for self and of others. Respect in the workplace is important as it leads to better employee morale, increased productivity, and a better working environment. This course will review practices of respect, respect in the workplace, respectful communication, and disrespect in the workplace.
Roles and Responsibilities of Safety Committees/Safety Reps

A Safety Committee is made up of workers and employers working together to identify health and safety problems in the workplace.

In addition, participants will gain an understanding of all the requirements of a safety committee including duties and responsibilities, meeting frequency, agendas, minutes and making recommendations.
Supervisor Competency

It is required, and best practice, that appointed supervisors be competent. Properly training supervisors is part of meeting this requirement. Our Supervisor Competency training offers a unique perspective on the competencies that supervisors require to achieve superior workplace management. Superior workplace management results in greater health and safety within the operation and a better understanding of social responsibility in the workplace. The Supervisor Competency training program outlines the activities, knowledge and skills that are expected to enhance a supervisor’s performance.

Workplace Inspections
Who Should Attend: Managers/Supervisors, Committee Members, Health and Safety Reps.
An inspection is a planned walk-through of a workplace or worksite designed to help the workplace meet compliance with the law, and more importantly, allow for the identification and control of any factors that can cause injury or illness. Routine workplace inspections are therefore a critical component of a good accident, occupational disease, and fire prevention program.
An inspection procedure has four components: preparation, inspection, reporting and follow-up. Let us teach you about these fundamental components. We will provide a solid foundation for recognizing, assessing, and controlling identified workplace hazards and give you the skills you need to effectively inspect the workplace.
