This Ethena course gives Canadian teams a practical grounding in their OHS duties, from hazard awareness to the right to refuse unsafe work.

  • OHS duties and your three rights
  • WHMIS chemical labels and safety data sheets
  • Ergonomic, physical, and psychosocial hazards
  • Reporting concerns and speaking up safely

Included Modules:

What Is Occupational Health and Safety?

Introduces Canada’s OHS framework, the internal responsibility system, and the three worker rights to know, participate, and refuse unsafe work.

Hazardous Chemicals

Explains WHMIS 2015, the standardized hazard pictograms, supplier and workplace labels, and safety data sheets that help workers handle chemicals safely.

Workplace Ergonomics

Covers musculoskeletal injury risks from repetitive motion, awkward postures, and manual handling, plus practical ways to set up safer, more comfortable workstations.

Understanding Workplace Physical Risks

Looks at physical hazards like noise, vibration, slips, falls, machinery, and electricity, and the controls and protective equipment that reduce harm.

Psychosocial Risks and Workplace Wellbeing

Examines psychosocial hazards such as stress, harassment, and fatigue, drawing on Canada’s National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.

Understanding Workplace Biological Risks

Explains biological hazards including bacteria, viruses, and mould, and the hygiene practices, vaccinations, and exposure controls that protect workers from infection.

OHS Management in Practice

Shows how joint health and safety committees, hazard assessments, incident reporting, and inspections turn OHS duties into everyday workplace routines.

Speak Up Culture

Encourages reporting hazards, near misses, and concerns without fear, reinforcing the right to refuse unsafe work and protection from reprisal.

"Ethena helped us embed clear standards directly into how we operate and grow. That's what designing for trust at scale actually looks like."

"I needed to train 500 people on side agreements in two weeks. Ethena made it happen — custom content, quick turnaround, no drama."

— Darryl Cyphers, Jr.
