SIX MONTH SAFETY REFRESHER INFORMATION
All contractors are required to complete the six month safety refresher as part of their three-year BSO Plus program. Each contractor is responsible for delivering the refresher to their employees; uploading the records into the IEC database; and retaining the hard copies in accordance with their own company records retention policy.
Please review the process and obtain the files needed to complete your six month safety refresher. Member-clients will spot audit training records to make sure workers are compliant with the six month safety refresher.
Safety Refreshers are available on the IEC website.
If you have any questions, please contact the IEC at 519-383-1222 or email
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE SAFETY REFRESHER:
1. To preserve the environment, please print off one copy of the refresher and one copy of the refresher answers
2. Give everyone a blank sheet of paper and tell them to number the left hand side of the paper 1-30; beside the number they should print their response (i.e. a, b, c, d, etc.)
3. Read out the refresher question and possible responses; some refresher questions are multiple choice: A, B, C, D, E – while others are true or false: A = True and B = False
4. Workers are encouraged to work together to discuss the refresher questions
5. Take up the answers, providing rationale for the correct response(s) – workers should self-correct answers to 100%
