Hand Safety (Canada)

Your hands are your most-used tools on the job, which is also why they are one of the most frequently injured parts of the body. Cuts, crushes, fractures, and amputations can be permanent and life-altering, but proper training helps workers spot hazards before they cause harm. This course covers hand injuries and hazards, the hierarchy of controls, choosing and using the right gloves, safe work practices, and how to respond to a hand injury.

Is there a time limit for online courses?

Everyone learns at a different pace and everyone retains information differently. When you take a course online, you go at your own speed. If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.

How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?

When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course. The company responsible for virtual proctoring is Integrity Advocate. You can find out more about how their system works here.
