Federal Bill C-45 and its implications for employers

Since 2004, Canadian employers in both the public and private sector can be charged with criminal negligence for the actions (or lack of action) of a manager or supervisor who has failed to train their personnel to do their jobs in a safe manner. Bill C-45 is federal legislation that has particular relevance to those with personnel working in high risk environments like swiftwater, surface ice, confined space or with technical rope systems.

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
