Safety and Health Week – Health and Safety Training
Have you updated your Health and Safety Training?
As part of McMaster’s commitment to provide and maintain healthy and safe working and learning environments we have updated the health and safety training frequency requirements. The appendix of RMM 300 Health and Safety Training Program (Training Matrices) were approved in December by Senior Management.
Of the 7 mandatory health and safety training sessions 3 are affected by the update:
Asbestos Awareness, Slips, Trips and Falls and Ergonomics of which are now required to be updated every 5 years. Depending on your position there could be site specific training that has also been updated. Please review the appropriate training matrix for your area.
What does this mean for you?
All workers and supervisors are required to update their training according to the recently approved training matrices. Your training will appear in Avenue to Learn within one business day once registered in Mosaic.
Not sure when you last completed training?
Check your training summary in Mosaic. To access your training summary click on the Regulatory Training tile in Mosaic and select the Training Summary link.
Supervisors
As a reminder, Managers/Supervisors are responsible for ensuring their employee’s safety training is up to date. For Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS) employees, please visit the FHS Safety Office to learn which training you are required to complete, as it depends on your employee type, building and work environment.
More information regarding the updated training matrices and health and safety training can be found on our training webpage.
