Module 1
Health and Safety Program Development
(Large Employer)

This module is based on the original Partnership Health and Safety program developed by Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry to assist companies in the development and implementation of their safety programs.

The program has been updated and expanded to meet the current standards. The purpose of a Health and Safety Program is to assist management in identifying and controlling risks, provide the basis for action to health and safety problems and assist in the maximization of productivity for the organizations resources.

To successfully complete the course, learners have 3 attempts to achieve 80% or higher on the exam. Upon completion of this course the learner receives a printable Certificate of Achievement. Upon the organization's completion of the development, implementation and passing an external audit of their Health and Safety Program the organization will receive a Certificate of Recognition from Alberta Employment, Immigration and Industry with the Alberta Association for Safety Partnerships being the Certifying Partner. Qualification for a Certificate of Recognition indicates the company has met or exceeded the standard as set out by the Partnership program.
