About This Course
Workplace accidents are more common than you might think. In 2018, the Association of Worker's Compensation Boards of Canada recorded 265,000 accepted claims for work-related injury or disease and 1,027 workplace fatalities, up by 5.5% and 7.4% from the previous year, respectively. While these alone are quite significant numbers, keep in mind that they exclude unreported or rejected cases, meaning the total number of incidents is likely much higher.
Employees and employers alike suffer from inadequate safety measures in the workplace, just as they both benefit from adopting and enforcing effective health and safety procedures. Indeed, performing ones duties in a safe environment creates a sense of value and respect among among workers, increasing productivity and commitment.

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.
