Automotive and Manufacturing Safety Training
Automotive and Manufacturing - An Industry That Could Be Fatal
Alongside Health and Social Services, the Manufacturing industry has the highest number of recorded lost time claims. Although the two are roughly on par in terms of the adjusted, total amount of injuries per total number of workers, the bulk of accidents in Manufacturing are of a different nature than the ones in Health.
According to the AWCBC, over one third of all accidents that happen in a Canadian manufacturing setting are traumas, likely due to falls or improper handling of equipment and/or tools. Given these circumstances, it is vital that both current and future employees in the Manufacturing sector receive appropriate safety training.
The following list includes several of the most common manufacturing jobs and the safety courses associated with each.
