Safety Training Information

Essential safety certifications and courses to ensure a secure working environment

Safety Training Information

All Safety-related training must be authorized by the Local. Before registering for any courses, contact the Local to ensure that you are eligible to take the courses and that the certification is required for the particular job-site or project location that you are dispatched to. In most cases, the member pays the initial cost of the course and then submits an official receipt to the Local for reimbursement. Members may be eligible for discounted pricing for some safety courses, please contact the Local for more information.

Safety Training Certification

Compulsory site specific & safety training certifications required to gain entry to the worksite will be identified on the dispatch. Local 222 members will be reimbursed by the Training Fund for compulsory courses as well as for certification for other training if requested by the employer.

Safety Certification Reminder

Job opportunities can come up at any time. As a member, and as part of our Code of Conduct, we have a duty to ourselves, the Contractors and to the Local to:

BE READY TO WORK
Keep your Safety Certifications up-to-date: check the expiry dates on your cards
Get re-certified BEFORE your card expires

Failure to keep certifications current can result in delays getting on the job and missed work opportunities!
