STEPS TO APPLY FOR PERMIT STATUS WITH I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL 58
STEP 1
Complete the Ontario Health and Safety Awareness in Four Steps course: www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/hs/training. This is a free online course that everyone must take to work in Ontario.
STEP 2
Complete WHMIS certification. WHMIS is implemented by complementary federal, provincial, and territorial legislation and regulations. The main purpose of the federal WHMIS legislation is to require suppliers of hazardous products intended for use, handling, or storage in a workplace to classify those products, and provide health and safety information about them to their customers. You must provide a WHMIS Certificate compliant with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), also known as WHMIS 2015.
STEP 3
Complete a Working at Heights course. This must be an in-person course with a practical component held by a certified Ministry of Labour (MOL) instructor. Working at Heights is required to work in all of our venues and must be renewed every 3 years. The course is offered by the Local’s education department. Although we recommend taking our specific course, any Working at Heights course with MOL approved accreditation will be reviewed and, if found correct, accepted when submitted. Cost will be indicated in the offering.
