Policies and other Important Information

Your Safety Tickets

Keep your address up-to-date

Moving? Please call 877-220-4073 to notify us of any changes to your address. Keeping your address current helps us get your permanent safety tickets to the correct address in a timely manner. If you don’t know what your new address will be, let us know so that we can hold onto your ticket(s) until you call us with the new forwarding address.

When will your permanent tickets arrive?

At the training permanent H2S Alive/ESC, Fall Protection/ESC,  Forklift Operators, Asbestos Awareness, Gas Testing, WHMIS/GHS and TDG tickets are issued immediately upon successful completion of the tests. Certificates for Qualitative and Quantitative Fit testing/CSA service are also issued immediately.

For Fall Protection/BC Comprehensive, Confined Space/CanSafe (Entry & Monitor) and Ground Disturbance LII, these permanent tickets will arrive to your address by post from us 3 months at the latest from the date of your training with the proper address and spelling. It is your responsibility to watch for and keep track of your ticket(s). Note: If your name has been misspelled on your ticket, we send it back for correction, which delays arrival by at least couple more weeks.

If you still haven’t received your ticket(s) after the three months (and you have given us up-to-date information), call us immediately. We are not responsible for your tickets after they have been mailed, but we will assist you as much as possible if they are not received, lost or misplaced.

Attendance/Lateness

Participants are encouraged take the time to arrive safely to class (with changing weather and road conditions, etc.) and to show up a few minutes early (well-rested) before starting time unless directed otherwise (see COVID-19 Protocols).

If they must be late and know ahead of time, they should contact the office as soon as possible to pre-arrange their later entrance into the class. If road/travel conditions require more time for travel or cause unexpected delays, participants may also arrive late. In both cases, no more than 20 minutes may be allowed for joining the class after the starting time. Participants will need to call the office to re-schedule and a fee or the full amount may be required to do so.
