Over the last decade, over 450 Canadian construction workers have lost their lives, while more than 63,000 have experienced workplace injuries. Statistics Canada indicates that construction workers are up to 4 times more likely to experience a workplace accident than most other professionals. In addition, almost 20 billion dollars’ worth of healthcare expenditures are incurred by construction-related accidents every year.
Although the number of work-related injuries and fatalities has decreased over the past decade, it remains absolutely necessary that businesses and employees alike prepare themselves adequately for the risks associated with their profession. The following lists and packages aim to offer comprehensive guidance to employees in construction who want to complete the right safety courses for their respective jobs.
