Workplace Reasonable Suspicion

Impairment on the job is one of the most dangerous hazards in a Canadian workplace, and reasonable suspicion is your first line of defence against it. One missed sign can mean a slow reaction or a bad call that seriously injures you, your coworkers, or the public. This course sharpens your ability to spot physical, behavioural, and performance signs and report them objectively, without diagnosing or confronting anyone. You'll learn the sources of impairment, what fitness for duty means, how a potentially impaired employee is approached under Canadian policy and privacy rules, and the responsibilities, rights, and support that protect you.

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.
